Nature Versus Environment

     How is it you can have ten kids and they all turn out so different?  Where one is quiet and shy, another is loud and boisterous.  One loves to read and others never, ever pick up a book.  Some make friends easily and others struggle to make friends.  What is a reward for one, is a punishment for another.  How can kids raised in the same family and by the same parents be so very, very different.  All I can say is they are born that way.  We come into life with our personality traits already deeply embedded in our genetic make-up.  I do think environment influences you, but you are who you are, and that is one of the hardest things about being a parent.

  1. Our personalities traits aren't embedded in our genetic makeup but our spirit in the pre-existence. :)
