All babies
are hardwired with certain personality traits, and the ones your child was born
with will help dictate whether he laughs or cries in the face of change, keeps
going when frustrated, and maybe even how soon he tries to walk. Researchers
believe that each child starts life with an inherited set of nine personality
traits. The specific combo he comes bundled with puts him into one of three
categories: easy, slow to warm up, and challenging.
How
soon will you know what your baby's like? Some traits are obvious almost from
birth; others will become apparent by 3 or 4 months. And some may evolve in
intensity. For instance, his low frustration level may improve as he gains
confidence in his abilities, or his desire for activity may subside a bit as
his attention span grows. Even the most challenging traits can become less
problematic as a child learns to cope with life's ups and downs and figures out
what makes him happy -- in conjunction with your support and guidance, of
course.
In the
meantime, here's how to recognize the kid your baby will soon become, and bring
out his best.
