Scarr's idea that evolution has provided us, as humans, the ability and knowledge to be 'good enough' parents.  Meaning no extraordinary measures need be taken in order for our children to succeed.  We innately know how much time and effort to put forth when raising our children.  For proof of this notion we need only look at our evolutionary history and the recorded history we have available.  Human history is littered with different ideas, plans, and suggestions for how to raise your children.  Many of which differ wildly from one another yet as as species we have all survived to this point and there was not a great die off that can be attributed to one group's approach to raising children.  I personally am not 100% convinced that we all innately know how much time to spend with children, some people seem to be better prepared/equipped to be parents, but I do believe that most humans have a genetic encoding that ensures we are nurturing and, to a certain extent, selfless with our children.  I would love to see a study as outlined by my group in class conducted.  It is a study ranging over 30 years and tracks the amount of time spent with children until 18 years of age and then tracks the child's progress through life.  It would be extremely interesting to see if there is any correlation between time spent with the child and perceived success in life.
