Passing Thoughts

01.12.2011

- What makes up a person’s personality? How much of it is parental influence and how much is innate?

- Why and how do some children grow up to have a different set of values from their parents?

- It never ceases to amaze me that siblings can grow up under the same roof with the same parents and yet grow up to be completely different.

- What makes a child more sociable than another? How much of a child’s hesitancy to be social because of a parent’s fears and how much is it because it’s innate?

- Why could a parent have a more challenging relationship with one child than another?
