What traits does a child inherit from its parents... say if a father has a rage problem...?

Question

but the child never meets the father...
or if the mother didn't ever catch on to social skills, but that child wasn't raised with the mother...

Would the child have these traits?

Answer 1

I would say that a child may inherit the way he feels. He may feel the anger, if he is a feeling person, but will learn how to express it in his home. Just cause the father had rage, doesn't mean that is a personality trait, maybe he just feels really misunderstood in life and it developed. Maybe the mother was a free spirit who just never found 'her group of people'. The child may be a free spirit... but environment will teach that child to embrace itself and find a place...

Answer 2

Whether the child inherits it from his father depends upon what caused rage in his father.
If it was genetic,chances are very low.
Also please ask your parents if anyone in their amilies had it.You may carry it but may not express it.If it was also present ion your family,risk increases.You need to consult a Doctor specializing in Genetics who will do a complete pedigreee analysis and asses the risk

Rage ,in his father could also be caused by some accident,infection,some birth injury while he was being delivered,etc.In such cases he WON'T develop rage.

However,the child should not be exposed frequently to the father's rage because children do learn to imitate parents in many ways.Even if there is some incidental exposure,the mother can make the child understand that rage is not good and is to be avoided

Answer 3

There may be a genetic predisposition to the rage illnesses, the anger that is. Social skills are more of a learned behavior.

You would just have to watch the child, ensure that the parents histories are in the childs medical records and make sure you teach your child better coping skills. It wouldn't hurt to have a developmental psychologist work with the child as well, early intervention is key. And it never hurts to give your child the best coping skills for the best start possible.

Answer 4

Posibly,..

There is Genetic and Enviornmental.

So if there is difficulty with emotions Geneticly or with communication in a way that is not acceptable by one cultural/country.

So it is posible those can be passed down.

It is also posible they may not gain these if the Rage is from Abuse or the Social Skills problem is from Isolation. Those are Enviornmental, not inherited. Therefore not traits.

Added: [Dealing with Genetics] It would be hard to explain the little details dealing with mathmatics and domenant, reseiveing, and reactions between genes so I don't think I can get extremely in depth with you. But because of Genetics it is posible for you to have something that hasn't been noticed in your family in generations because of the other parents domenant or reseisive genes. Sorry, I think this will be hard to read between my learning disablities and not being able to breath very well (my lungs are being effected >.< )

Added2: There are also Illnesses that can be inherited that may sway you towards certain behaviors, attitudes,.. or well,.. ya,.. nothing that society can find acceptable. Then there are not so common that effect glands,.. that in turn effects a persons personality and reaction to things if it is certain glands effected. So some times there can be something inherited or that comes from a certin combo of genetics that it's self may not be a certain thing you are thinking of but effects the body or behavior to includ something to make you believe that or add that to their problems.

Answer 5

They do no inhert but rather learn. Both my parents and my brother are very very personable people, whereas I am not. I have a temper like my dad but my brother doesn't. It all depends on what sort of experience you have in life. For and example you may have witnessed your father (when you were a child) do the most kind and caring thing a person could do but not remember it happening but also witness at another time him being the most angry upset person there is and you do remember it. It's basically what ever sinks in to that thick skull of yours. So be carefull with the experiences your child goes through.

Answer 6

the trait that a child inherit from the parents are merely everything that is in the DNA.
juz be cool ok?
the trait of intelligence is inherit around 1% from the parents.
other than that... it's up to whoever that brings up the child.
if he'she brings up the child in a very immature way....
the child might be influenced by him/her.
that's all.

Answer 7

I dont think so. I mean some mental illnesses like bipolar and such some doctors say it can be genetic. Personally Ithink it is the environtment in which they are raised that will make the impact on thier personality. Come from a loving and good home they will more than likely be a kind person, come from a trasjy, mad, ngry arduing household where they dont feel loved...more than likely gonna have some issues there.

Answer 8

I think that it just depends on which genes are dominant in the child. My son has a definite anger problem & he is just 4 years old. My husband also has a very bad anger management problem, but he has never blown up in front of our son. My point is that I'm pretty sure he inherited it from his dad because he displays some of the same attributes, but has not first hand witnessed them from his father. Again, I think it all depends on which genes are predominate.

Answer 9

I was adopted at birth and didnt meet my birth family until I was 34. I inherited my temper from my mother, however the rest comes from the upbringing I recieved and my own moral choices.

Answer 10

I will say yes to that. My cousin is an alcoholic and his dad is too, but he didnt meet his dad till he was 23, likewise, my ex's dad was apparently abusive, and he was too.
