> If parents do their job, kids can be healthy and without stress such that whatever the "genetic clock" is alarming at can be fulfilled. Unhealthy children because of an unhealthy and dysfunctional situation will miss the signal(s) and further be messed up along the way. Also, parents can stunt or enhance a childs normal growth by varying their diet.

Sounds to me like you think parents can alter genetics in both negative *and* positive ways? If that's the case, I see what you're saying and it's even more reason for me to be concerned about what I can do to give my son a better chance at good mental health.
