[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two grandsons both 7 years old. One is very cute but when we see him he barely says hello and basically just tolerates us. The other has average looks but when we see him he runs up to us, hugs us and loves to spend time with us. Which of the two would you prefer? [/quote]
This!!! I have a cute son but he is pretty aloof and keeps to himself most of the time. I often take him and his friend on outings. The friend is polite, nice, outgoing, smart (they are both smart but my son sticks to one topic whereas his friend can really hold a conversation with an adult). The friend is average looking but I almost prefer him to my son :( [/quote]

I want my child (currently 4) to be like your son’s friend. What do you think the parents did right?[/quote]
I have no idea! Their other son is quite different (something between mine and his younger brother). I think it’s genetic tbh. Parents are quirky too, so it’s not even like he takes after them![/quote]

It’s definitely genetics. I have two DD’s and one is aloof and the other is friendly and outgoing. When she was 2-3 years old, outgoing dd used to ask me how my day was when I got home from work, and actually listen to my response and ask follow up questions. She’s the kid that will say good morning to the school administrator on the way in to school, and “have a good evening Ms. X” on her way out. I’ve never met another kid who was so in tuned to other people starting at such a young age. The other one is oblivious to people around her.  It’s just their personalities![/quote]

YES!! me too. DD1 is so outgoing and says hi to everyone while DD2 remains more reserved.[/quote]
