Is a child’s behaviour a reflection of the parenting or simply temperament

It’s both & none at the same time lol Depends on what age range your speaking about
My kid was considered really good and well behaved up until the last month 🫠 She is starting to get her toddler tantrums and a very loud voice
My daughter was an absolute dream and honestly she still is but the 2s have hit her emotions HARD 😅
Yep! My mother hated me since I was born. My siblings hate me too I’m nothing like either one of them either. I’m one and done. Good luck 🍀
nature and nurture both have a big impact, both of my kids are really sweet and well mannered but slightly different temperaments, my oldest is a bit more high energy and wild and my youngest is a bit more attached to me and sensitive
We had a very well behaved infant up until 2 and I had that too from people, I also believed (naively) that we shaped her well….ahahahaaaa. It’s actually bonkers, Be prepared 😂 she’s still adorable though but I must deep breathe about a million times a day now
I don't want to be the "just you wait!" Person but still...it is very likely you'll see the usual difficult behaviours at 2-4, or at least somewhere in there.
I'm going with neither. Bc my first child was like that, and my second was the complete opposite
I think it depends my nanny kiddo acts the way he does because of his parents parenting. It’s just a simple fact. The kids who beat my child? Also definitely the parents fault for raising children who think that’s ok.
I have been a TA for many years while In my college years. ND kids act just like they parents. I can actually match a child to the parent. Sassy kids have a sassy parent, calm kids, calm parents , kids with behavioral issues have a parent with anger issues, drug problems or in jail , Artsy kids have parents who wear hemp clothes and have a dream catcher somewhere in their home.... Those parents always wanna talk about Maya Angelo and how they will vote for Kamala when they meet me. Even if the kids want to be different - somehow they still will do something their parents have done
My oldest son is 16 and honestly raising him has been quite an easy ride. He always followed my rules and I can probably count on one hand how many times he’s been in trouble. My toddler is also ‘good’ but he’s autistic so it’s very different this time. He’s good but can be challenging at the same time.
In general both. I parented mine the same but they are polar opposites in terms of behaviour.
Both really, I think that if you teach your child to be well mannered, kind to others from a young age ect then they will. I have a 3 year old, and she's really well behaved, sweet, and kind to others. I think not spoiling them helps, too. But I also believe no 2 kids are the same
At that age it’s a lot to do with temperament. lol I’m sure you’re doing a stellar job, which also contributes! Reading about the four temperaments is pretty interesting.

It’s definitely both! I’ve worked in schools and nurseries etc and all children are different- i know it isn’t the same as parenting but the way we go about handling them in the class room, discipline/teaching all children will react differently. You can raise / treat a child the exact same way as another and get completely different responses. That’s why some siblings behaviours are so different - same parenting different personalities ❤️
Both, but nurture has the biggest impact on healthy individuals.
My son was such a well behaved and calm baby ! Before he turned 12m and nowww he acts up 🤣😅
The reason I’m pondering this we are due for our second baby in March and I’m honestly convinced this child will be the devil it’s only fair considering how good our first is right??
