Opinion on child raising

Baking bread now! 2 loaves, chocolate chip and fruit & nuts. I conclude that baking bread is like raising a child. Under proof or over proof will not maximize the bread's optimum texture, just like raising a child, nature and nature are both equally important and we have to nurture our children to their best potential.

Personally, I believe in nurturing. Just a child born in a family of doctors, if abducted by thieves and raised by them, he will never get a chance to be a doctor if he doesn't have the means to proper education and learning from his real family.
Similarly, a child who is adopted by a family of educators will be raised to be a person of good values.

Of course one may argue about peer influence and that one might go astray, but peer influence or pressure, my friend, is a form of "nurture" as well, in my opinion, "Nurtured" by friends to become someone else. In another words, as long as a person is under an
Environment with certain people, after sometime, that person will be "nurtured" or influenced to become like the people around them.
But is it possible not to be influenced?
Yes. With a strong and firm foundation of values, beliefs and knowledge, one is rooted and will not be easily strayed. This is because the person has his own identity and need not succumb to unnecessary pressure to become someone he doesn't like.

So start nurturing your children from birth. Believe in their ability to learn. Never underestimate a child's ability and potential and they will never fail to
amaze you!
