Parenting Shapes Children's Personality

A person’s personality is shaped by various factors, with parenting style being one of the most significant. In Nepal, where many households still follow the joint family model, a child’s personality is also influenced by other guardians within the family. A recent article on CNBC Make it about the parenting style of Bill Gates’s father and its impact on him growing up made me reflect on parenting in Nepal. Gates stated that his father’s parenting was so effective that he applied the same approach to raising his children. According to the article, Bill Gates credited the "Love and Logic" parenting concept for shaping his behaviour and decision-making skills, and he wanted to pass it on to his children.
