Default Interesting link... on shy children, genes, and parenting

A short synopsis - there's a shyness gene but parents' reactions to the
child (sensitivity and nurturance) and the support that a parent receives
for his/her own stresses can override genetic influence by "rewiring" the
child to tolerate stress and novel situations.


Very interesting link Thank-You, made me think about ADD a lot
more carefully
