People say that personality determines destiny, and having a good personality makes it easier to achieve success. Parents should pay attention to their children's character development, which is very beneficial for their future. When cultivating a child's personality, it is necessary to have an understanding of the formation time of their personality. So, when does a child's personality form?
A child's personality is formed between the ages of 3-6, which is called the "wet cement" period. This means that at this time, a child's personality is like wet cement, with strong plasticity. This is the most important period for the formation of people's personalities, during which 85% -90% of their personalities are formed.
Parents hope that their children have an outgoing, optimistic, and positive personality, but these traits do not spontaneously form. This requires parents to cultivate and guide them correctly in order to give their children a good personality.
When a child is 7-12 years old, their personality belongs to the category of 'cement that is solidifying'. Most children's personalities have already formed, and the good traits in their personalities need to be consolidated during this period to cope with the impact of future adolescence. This stage is a period of heavy academic workload for children, so many parents have shifted their focus to their children's studies, neglecting guidance on personality. This has led many children to consolidate the negative aspects of their personalities during this stage. Therefore, while parents pay attention to their studies, they should not relax their character development.
