Whether a child will grow up cruel or kind …….

Many experts in child psychology have attempted to understand the relationship between the way a child is raised and its personality as an adult. Although much work has been done, it has proved difficult to form any definite conclusions. A child raised by loving parents may turn out to be cruel, and a child raised by strict and unkind parents may grow up kind and gentle. A child who is pushed to work hard in school may rebel and become lazy, a child who is never forced to work may become industrious.
