We have become accustomed to comparing a child’s personality to that of a parent or close family member. The thing we overlook, though, is that although we share DNA with our kids, we can be very different in our dispositions. Watching my son grow these last 17 months has made me realise that sometimes, we are born with our personalities intact. It took me too long to get used to his way of greeting because of my preconceived ideas of having an affectionate child. So we have to gently guide his little hands into showing him different options for showing affection, such as lightly touching the face instead of grabbing.
