To genetics?
First, genetics today is very strongly developed technically and theoretically. Many of us have already heard about DNA decoding and know that the analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can give answers about possible defects in the child's physical or mental development.
Secondly, the analysis of DNA allows you to predict some features of the appearance of the child: whether he is red-haired and freckled, like a mother, or with large brown eyes, and in the future - with hair on his chest, like a dad.
However, many do not even know that to date only 5% of the human genome has been deciphered, and much remains to be discovered. Moreover, genetics does not answer the question of who the child will become a character in. And, surprisingly enough, it never will! Why? Because the formation of character depends on education.
To a psychologist!
Let's try to find the truth in another science, as well as in how and when the character of the child is formed. In psychology. She has a huge array of information about the formation of the character of the baby. American genetics to date have only one decoded chromosome. More precisely, only its small part, which is responsible for the formation of electric rhythms of the brain. Theoretically, this chromosome can influence the development of the child's temperament - making it more mobile and active or more thoughtful, preferring the book to playing "war". In psychology, there are answers to questions about the upbringing and inheritance of the character from the mother, father and even distant relatives.
Babies are more like dads. Nature "conceived" so that the man immediately saw in the child himself and the instinct of paternity formed faster.
Pregnancy and nature
All in order. First you need to know what part of the character is formed during pregnancy. Many scientists are trying to answer this question, and most of them do not agree. However, in the world of psychology, the works of Stanislav Grof are known, dealing with the problem of perinatal psychology (psychology during pregnancy) almost all his life. For example, this scientist argued that exposure to the fetus during pregnancy can affect the formation of certain opportunities. Many mothers especially listen to classical music or read a fairy tale not yet born. It is difficult to say for sure whether a kid will become a musician or become addicted almost from birth to a good read, but the American scientists managed to prove that the music lessons that mothers visit before giving birth make the future baby more calm and balanced.
Get positive emotions! The main advice for future mothers: during pregnancy, try to make the surrounding world look like a fairy tale. Call to this family!
Genetic passport
Perhaps soon we will have a special - a genetic passport - along with the already familiar Russian and foreign passports. There will be information about the presence of mutations in genes, hereditary diseases, predisposition to multifactorial diseases. Such studies are already being conducted in the West both for couples who have problems with the birth of babies, and for everyone as a paid service.
To whom is like?
Let's for a while drop the concept of "character", also how and when the character of the child is formed. In the first few years, do not mention this word for several reasons.
The child was only born, he is still a largely biological being, and not a social being. If someone says that the baby's daddy's smile, it means only that the child is able to turn his lips into a tube, like his father. However, to make "lips with a bow" will be obtained in crumbs not earlier than the 4th and 4th months of life, and even then mechanically. The first smile has no social significance. Rather, these are signs for the mother when the baby wants to eat.
Character is an acquired characteristic that is accepted by a toddler after he begins to understand and copy the behavior of close people. In the first year of life, the child is not capable at all.
In psychology, the character implies a person's attitude to the world around, purposeful and conscious. Consciousness and responsibility come to the kid not at the first year of life, everyone knows it.
Red, red, caulk ...
Genetics prescribes the types of gene transfer based on the principle of dominance. Future parents can well imagine what color their eyes or hair will be. As a rule, the dark color of the iris of the eyes and hair is dominant, so you can guess that the children are more likely to be brunettes if the dad is dark and the mother is blond. However, using these rules, never forget about the element of randomness, thanks to which the evolution of all living beings takes place in the world.
Overeating by heredity
Judging by the nutritional preferences of genetically identical children (such as, for example, twins), gourmetism and gluttony are invariably inherited from parents. Fortunately or unfortunately, neither education, nor the environment, nor the environment can influence this. Nothing at all! Observations of scientists from different countries for twins showed that with a greater likelihood of love for meat and fish dishes inherited almost always. While the addiction to sweets and vegetables is already a matter of upbringing and individual characteristics.
All in the father!
So what is character? Everything is very simple. If your child behaves courteously on the street, gives way to grandmother, takes responsibility responsibly and behaves yourself with those who are older, consider that you yourself, with your hands, or rather, actions, have shaped the crumbs ideal character. And it's not so scary that the boy will spread his socks all over the room like dad. This is not a character, but the eternal problem of all women and the eternal lack of all men. The formation of the character of the child depends solely on the parents (or grandparents) and is formed according to their pattern. In a more adult period - also on the same age as peers. You, as parents, have every chance to "grow" a good character. And, even if the baby's temperament is "explosive", you can always correct it. Educate a tactful and intelligent person from your mischief. So far, it has not been proven anywhere that the character is transmitted genetically. So everything is in your hands!
Tip
When a crumb commits a mistake, your punishment must carry austerity, but show your disposition towards the child. Do not say: "You are bad!", But better: "I love you, but your act upset me."
Is a small tyrant growing?
The first vagaries of the child, his persistence, stubbornness, negativism and resistance to all the words of his parents - all this, it would seem, in the third year of life speaks about the nature of the baby. Moms begin to worry that they will grow up a small tyrant, and the popes briskly take the belt. Should not be doing that! This is not a manifestation of a character, but its formation, and much depends on what he sees in this period around, and most importantly, at home. All of the above signs indicate an age crisis in the baby. In this period of time he is so supposed to behave. He explores the limits of permissibility. However, to disclose them (or close) should be as tactfully as possible, but firmly identifying "no" and "yes."
In the 19th century, telegonia was popular. The theory that the appearance of the crumbs is answered not by the father's genes, but by the mother's first partner. It occurred after a case in the world of horses, when the mare had a posterity with zebra strips.
