[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IME a lot of those kids are the nicest by MS and Hs.  They often have adhd or anxiety making them act out and once that is recognized and managed by caring parents they turn into compassionate nice kids.

OTOH, some of the nicest preschoolers turn into terrors in MS or HS because those are the kids that are put an high priority on acting in compliance with expectations.  When they are little, those are adult expectations so they are nicely behaved, but when they are teens, that is teen expectations so they can become very into policing what /who is cool or popular and can be very susceptible to peer pressure but good at hiding that from adults.  Not all of them but I have definitely seen that happen with some of the kids I was most impressed by in preschool and K.

Interesting theory. 
I’m the parent with multiple kids who said genetics is strong. It was clear my “difficult” child was difficult from day one. Like she was a hard toddler, hard in elementary school, still hard in college.  My easy kids stayed easy and my hard kids stayed hard. [/quote]
