I’m saddened to learn that parents have so little influence over their children

I think this is one reason for home schooling lol
Children inherit genes from their parents
Genes are still most influential
Steven Pinker dedicated a chapter to this topic in his book, how the mind works.
As children enter school and grow up they spend less time with their parents than with their classmates in school and other peer groups etc

Bryan Caplan has a great book that goes over some of this, too.
Home environment plays almost no role in long-term outcomes, while genetics explains the most variation.
The data he's focused on doesn't allow for testing any other contributors, though.
