[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good nature is, well, nature. Well-behaved and polite are a combination of nature and nurture. [b]Some kids are wired to be more compliant, more sociable, more whatever mix of traits, but manners and behavioral guidelines are taught[/b]...and not just by parents. Teachers, extended family, and peers are all important. [/quote] Absolutely agree with this. You have to drill and reinforce manners and behavioral guidelines in ALL kids. But you can reinforce until you're blue in the face and a kid wired to be challenging will have a lot harder time getting it. Versus I see the way my "good natured" kid WANTS to be polite and well behaved and it's a more about reminding her to do the right thing, not convincing her why she should do the right thing. If you think it's just about nurture and parenting, you're a combination of lucky and just unaware. [/quote]
