I don't think anyone who's had more than one child believes that children are indistinguishable lumps of putty waiting to be shaped. There's this enormous body of work on parenting that looks at the correlation of what parents do and how children turn out: parents who speak to their children have children with advanced language skills, parents who spank have children that grow up to be more violent and so on. This could be, but correlation does not prove causation.
The fact is that parents provide their children not just with an environment but also with genes. The same genes that make parents talkative could make their children more advanced in language skills. The original studies are rarely done with adopted children.

That is because modern science and society has discarded the concept of a soul. I believe knowledge by itself is a thin veil that attempts to cover the anguish of not knowing, the truth that we really don't know and when we purse it without trying to understand the soul we sidestep the concept of understanding itself.
To think that humanity isn't shaped by the loving, caring, understanding, and forgiveness of those around us, or the lack of that love, forgiveness and understanding especially in childhood is missing the big picture entirely, imo. But, that is that is the fundamental difference between me, someone who believes in a soul and someone that does not.
I will take responsibility for my daughter and who she becomes and also those I come in contact with while I'm alive, even when my contact is bad, because I'm human. lol I hope to pass that to my daughter so she can experience joy and meaningful direction and purpose in life.

Even if you accept Pinker's ideas of parenting effect (or lack of it) on development he doesn't suggest you should take a "screw the kid" if I can't change the outcome attitude.
You should love and care for her. You want to develop a lifelong respectful relationship.
Me? I like learning, I'm a very curious perso who likes to know at least a little bit of everything, I'm a little obsessive and am VERY pessimistic, I guess I like to set myself up for failure because if I do and I fail I saw it coming and if I do and I dont fail then it will be a victory, my motto: "Life sucks and then you die"I'm not very big on the beauty of life concept, I havent had terrible times or poverty, actually as a kid we had it pretty damn sweet, yet to me life is a little pointless, I am in love and married and one could say happy but I'm in a constant neutral state, I'm very hyperactive and have walls around me, if people approach me I'm very social but I never put myself out there to really make friends, I'm a gigantic procrastinator and have little attachment to people
We would get along just swimmingly robbette
when I saw your description I thought "Wow, he's kinda like me"

we are all a product of our environment but also our own being...........
They have eyes to see... and hands to touch.. and minds to make decisions or come to a conclusion
As living breathing beings we all watch and learn and make choices and grow..
people in our lives are often teachers to help us grow as a soul...
