Our older daughter was rather mellow, willing to please, compliant and cautious enough to be successful in her endeavors, but took enough calculated risks to be challenged without being challenging. Our younger daughter seemed to come into the world looking for a party. She would leap first and ask questions later. Often we felt more than a few steps behind her. They each had such different styles.
How we, as parents, interacted with each child seemed to differ depending on how alike or different we were to each one.
