It is true that our personality and development are influenced both by the characteristics we are born with, as well as the experiences in our life .Years of study and research work has been done on the subject to understand why we behave and think, the way we do.Moreover, to what extend can we tweak it.
We, for most part of our childhood are cared and catered for, by our parents.We are sheltered and pampered to a certain extend.There are numerous children who face the contrary where hardships and toil are routine.
Therefore we do not get to choose the experiences that we face in the initial part of our lives.But it plays a telling part in the way we perceive life.
On the other hand, research shows that characteristics we are born with have much more influence which is again not decided by the individual himself/herself.The extend of this research is questionable because kids who turn out to be weak and timid in their early years grow to become leaders in their field of choice with proper training , support and encouragement.One example is of football player Messi.
Another aspect to point out is that the experiences faced by the child is choreographed by the parents.Furthermore when the child starts schooling,He/she starts to make decisions regarding which activities to undertake, sports activities, choosing friends and others based on the values taught by their parents.
At this stage the child is building on his/her character on the foundations laid by our parents.Therefore in conclusion,It is true to say that the experiences that our parents create for us plays a major part in making of our character.
