PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN Pastor Amos Owoseni Both the parents and the children workers in the Church are in a divine program of helping to shapen young lives . This makes it imperative for these leaders to understand how the personalities of children develop. The scripture makes it very evident that our Lord is concerned about each person as an individual, Unique from any other individual, their personalities and characteristics - if he is to tailor his ‘teaching and counseling to their personal needs. Authorities differ in their theories and definitions of Personality. To the Sociologist, Personality is the expression of one’s physiological and constitutional makings. The Psychologist on the other hand emphasizes the behavioral aspects of personality. Personality refers to those combined characteristics which makes a person
unique and different from all other individual. This includes not only
his spiritual characteristics but also his physical emotional, and social
attributes, and congenital and mental influences |
