Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

A good parent often will know more about their child than the child themselves. Unfortunately, many bad parents think they know more.
It's also ages dependent. Till the late teens, children often don't have a good handle on their internal state. They can often get there by 10-12, then teenage hormones do a number on it again.
Finally, it's down to the parents to teach the child how to understand what they feel. This also requires open and honest communications. You can't help and train them to cope appropriately, without knowing what's happening. You can't know what's happening without communication.
I think it's going to be only accurate on specific types of behaviour, and will fall away exponentially as the kids age.
I'm not saying it always goes to zero but seeing my parents with their parents makes me think it's possible to actually go negative.
