Observing children and grand children (and now a great-grand!) they all display distinct personality traits early on if people are paying attention.

The nurture part deals with reinforcing the valued traits and putting a lid on the less desireable behaviours.

With so many parents abdicating their role in favor of daycare or other surrogates (at best), it should be no wonder the results are jumbled.

The whole argument was old when Mark Twain wrote Puddin'head Wilson.

Then, too, some folks just ain't wired right...
