Today I’m going to talking you about the great nature-nurture debate. James explains it is best that the parents assume that their children’s traits are not genetically, he says this because studies show that when the parents have low perception of control of their babies, they blame to their children for bad behavior leading to physical abuse. This happen because the parents believe can’t prevent negative behavior, when the children can do it.
In another study, the parents believe that the boys are much more likely to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), because they think that male genes increased to probability. This idea may affect more the children behavior.
Another research talk about the preconceptions of mothering that have about the their baby’s temperament before birth. Those mothers that would believe to their sons with a difficult temperament were insensitivity with them at ages one and two. These evidences show the important that the parents assume that the children’s behavior haven’t genetic causality. It is best assume that they can take control of these behavior, for avoid a nurture aggressive and abusive. Many studies have shown that is the kind of parenting and not the genes the causes children become violent, hostile and aggressive. Therefore you are liable the child’s behavior!!

Hi!!
ReplyDeleteParents should not think the genetic as a determinant of their children's behavior!
I think it will always be important as the environment encourages children,to label only makes children can not develop their full potential. All parents should understand that.
