Today many parents complain about the personality and the behavior of their children without realizing that their parenting style is the main reason behind the child's undesired behavior.

Contrary to common beliefs genes has nothing to do with behavior but its the way parents raise children that affects their personality later on.

The first persons the child comes in contact with are the parents and so his relationship with the whole world is determined by what happens between him and his parents.

If you lied often to your child he will fail to develop trust for the first time in his life and as a result he might grow up unable to trust anybody else. Children who grow up that way usually suffer from being unable to find the right partner because of trust issues.

If your parenting style was authoritarian then your child might not be able to develop proper self regulation abilities and then he might become a procrastinator. Now many parents complain about their children who procrastinate without realizing that their parenting style was the reason the child's personality was developed that way.

Most parents complain about stubborn children without realizing that stubbornness is a direct reaction that the child takes when the parent becomes overly controlling.
