The Ideal Personality for Children
Have you ever thought what it would be like if you could choose the character or personality of your child? What if you could choose little parts of his/her personality to make a somewhat ideal child?
Would you go for a really compliant one who doesn’t fuss over food? One who eats everything on his plate and even cleans out the peas in the salad?
Would you choose one who doesn’t know how to whine? When he wants something, he always asks politely and will stop asking when the answer is given, even when it’s a NO.
How about one who is self motivated to read and practice writing and math sums? He completes his homework on his own without any reminding. He won’t ask to play games until work is completed NEATLY.
Ohh or if you can have one kid who goes to sleep when it’s bedtime and can close his eyes and sleep when his head touches the pillow.
I had lots of fun typing out the above, cos thinking about it just brings a smile to my face. Yet, I’ve never once thought of changing any of my kids’ personalities. (Ok, maybe I did nag or complain about it!)
What I meant, I’ve never thought of re-calibrating my children. I do see very well behaved children (either some stranger’s or some friend’s kid). I do make comments like, “Wow, your son does this, mine doesn’t!” or “Wow, you mean she wouldn’t? Mine would!” But I’ve NEVER EVER wish for an exchange of kids.
Despite all the misbehaviour and imperfection, I would take my kids anytime instead of yours. Other than because they are mine, I also think deep down, they are actually the most perfect out there in the world.
Do you feel the same?
Of course! I won't exchange my girls too! Every child is unique, doesn't matter what personality. To be fair, their personality takes after the parents' as well, so I love them just as I love myself. =)
Absolutely. Sure, I complain all the time about how loud they are and how I wish they can be more demure and talk softer blah blah blah, at the end of the day, I really do think they are as perfect as can be. [www.jbabiesinthedaisies.com]

Yes there are times when I might want them to be different but I really wouldn't change a thing. It's what makes them who they are.
Love mine to bits! 🙂

I think the kids quirks make them special, even when they drive me nuts!
I am constantly working on changing (or improving) my children's BEHAVIOR. However, I would never want to change their personalities. They are both perfect just as they are.

I can't wait to see what my kids' personality will be like, but I am pretty sure I won't exchange them either! 🙂
My recent post Baby Bump?
What’s up, just wanted to say, I enjoyed this article.
It was funny. Keep on posting!
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
I must say you’ve done a awesome job with this. Also,
the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Excellent Blog!
This can help you only look for vacuums that meet this price criterion and
you will not be tempted to look at a vacuum that is out of your price
range. You will find yourself picking up dirt you never imagined was
around, and which you would not be capable of getting out with many other
vacuum cleaners. It is also important that you should consider its form.
Thanks for finally talking about >The Ideal Personality for Children | <Loved it!
