Dear Jane:

You wrote: ” kids are just hardwired when they are born, we can influence and guide them as much as possible, but in the end they are who they are.”

Babies brains are not formed yet when they are born. It takes years for these brains to be formed, for the brain to mature, for connections, millions of connections to be made. This is why childhood years are called the Formative Years- because their brains are formed.

Children’s brained are formed (the connections made) as a result of interactions with the main caretaker/s.

Children are not born hardwired. Scientifically, it is not so.
