You need to foster the uniqueness in your baby and not force him to act in a way. Your child’s personality and temperament will show his learnings and experience. And you should be patient about it. Most often, your child’s temperament will change in different situations.
Additionally, children usually take after their parents. And they follow what you do. If you are aggressive with new things then your children are learning all that from you. SO, you need an ideal parent to hope for an ideal child. Moreover, you should not force your opinion on your child. You should give him space to grow out of his cacoon and learn new things from the environment. Furthermore, overprotective parents take away many learning experiences from their children. You need to be patient if your child is a teenager and he takes his time to learn. Also, do not compare your child to other children as it could harm his self-esteem and confidence level.
