Temperament by Birthdate? Parenting Wisdom in Folklore

Folklore often shares interesting tales about a child's temperament based on their birthdate. For example, those born on the 1st or 7th are called 'little flame types,' while the 2nd or 8th are 'smoldering types.' There are also explosive types, stubborn types, dramatic types, and highly sensitive types. While these are traditional life amusements without scientific proof that birthdates determine personality, they can guide parents to observe their child's emotional expressions. In these tales, each type has distinct characteristics: 'Little flame types' are usually well-behaved but quickly erupt when their boundaries are pushed, and their anger dissipates just as fast. 'Smoldering types' don't show their feelings immediately, preferring to keep them inside, which can lead to a sudden outburst after accumulating for a long time. 'Explosive types' are direct with their emotions, unable to hide their happiness or displeasure. 'Stubborn types' resist more when pressured but also show they have their own opinions. 'Dramatic types' have rich emotions and crave understanding. 'Highly sensitive types' are highly perceptive and need more security. However, this is merely folk sharing. What truly influences a child's growth are the family environment, parental companionship, educational methods, and the child's own experiences. Every personality has its strengths: little flames are passionate, smoldering types are nuanced, explosive types are sincere, stubborn types are persistent, dramatic types are expressive, and highly sensitive types are empathetic. When facing children with different temperaments, parents shouldn't try to forcibly change their personality but learn to understand them. First, acknowledge their emotions, then handle the situation. Truly good education involves understanding their traits and helping them become better versions of themselves. Because what accompanies a child's growth isn't just the day they were born, but the process of daily interaction. Indeed, personality development, besides innate factors, also depends on the growth environment and other factors. It's best to take such sayings as reference only~
