Sending your kids to a high-end school for studies or giving them a top-class atmosphere is not enough. Every child is different with different interests. Some are naughty while others are lost in their own world without talking much with people around.
In this day and age, it becomes very important for you to figure out the kind of personality your child has so that you can mould them in a way that is required.
Here is how you can find out about your child’s personality type.

If your child makes friends within few minutes at a new place or attracts people around by cracking numerous jokes, he has a sanguine personality. Optimistic children always seem very energetic and entertaining. They can be awake till 2 am in the night even if they have school next morning. Having this kind of personality also makes your kid have his ups and downs.
