[quote=Anonymous]My 2 kids have different personalities. The older one (6 year old boy) is loud, always on the go, likes attention, and talks nonstop all day. He talks/acts silly & likes to win (sometimes cries when he loses a game). The younger one (3 year old girl) is quiet, calm, likes observation, and her personality is mellow. She does not mind to wait & sit quietly looking at her brother having fun at karate/playdates. She is happy whenever her brother gives her some attention/love/hug, and she is his little tail. My boy has a tough time to share certain toys, and he loves to grab things off from her hands. She often does not mind at all, and she transitions onto other things easier. My boy cares about her as well because he sometimes saves her a tiny piece of candy when he has a few. Sometimes, they love to cuddle together. I think she admires him.

For my little girl's mellow personality, should I teach her to fight back/talk back? It has been "harmony" because of both kids' opposite personalities. She seems like she does not have much requests/needs. She is fine whatever I dress her, and she eats whatever I put them on her plate. My boy is a total story, and he is picky about food & clothes. I feel like she is too easy to the point that I am not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing. I don't have older sibling, is it common that little one often look up to older sibling growing up? I don't want her to grow up to be bossy/nosy as her brother, but I don't want her to grow up not knowing how to fight back/talk back (to me, it is like being taken advantage of). [/quote]
