The eldest was very studious and organized, is an out-each-night extrovert and has been pursuing a film and television career since he was a kid. Her middle child didn’t care much about academic achievement or organization, is an introvert who mostly connects with friends online, and is a bodybuilder who changed his major several times in college.

The longtime debate over which matters more in raising children – nature or nurture – is being altered by the realization that nature and nurture work together to influence how our children develop.

In addition to accepting and learning how they are different from their siblings – and that the parenting strategy you developed for one might not work at all with another – you also have to accept how they are different from you. “Sometimes we like the things that are similar in our children to us,” Wertz said. “We can identify with them more.
