Nature vs. Nurture? This is a common question contemplated between many in today's world. Do kids get their traits from their DNA or the environment around them. How do they know certain things? Why do they act certain ways? I personally believe, a child's personality traits are fully influenced by nurture, their environment while growing up. A parents love and guidance is the one and only thing that shapes a child's life. Children pick up words their parents say all the time. They are raised in a certain environment so they become comfortable with certain things and not others. Their parents teach them right and wrong, left and right. And who did their parents learn from? Their own parents. Therefore, personality traits are definitely passed from parent to child. As always, I have a song that describes this point perfectly called, "I Learned From You," By: Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus. This song says how Miley has learned to take care of herself because of the things her dad has taught her, strength and courage and poise. These are all traits found in a person's personality because of their parents teaching since birth.
