Nature versus Nurture 10/28/2024

I love watching children develop their personality and skills. Today there are parents that believe in allowing the child's natural instincts teach them. When a healthy, well-fed child gets to a certain age and are still wearing diapers or whining for a tit: if their parents aren't teaching them how to put their jacket on or step into their shoes, I wonder if they’re being nurtured. We need someone to help us to mature. We all need to be nurtured.
