Are clever/witty kids born or raised?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Raised and born.... You can raise a clever child by letting them read from a young age, teaching them the alphabet and to count when they are really really young like 2 or 3 years old maybe even 1? And for witty and outgoing it really just depends they can be born that way because each child is born unique, but i think a child can be raised to be witty and funny depending on the relationship you have with them, the shows they watch on tv and of course their friends.

Answer 2

`Wit`, in in truth I believe, a safe amusing, cathartic,

`cocking-a-snoot`, kindly or otherwise, at matters ~ the status quo, etc.,

and that is often the socially-acceptable expression

of disappointments & pain.

Think of the brilliant Dorothy Parker, Oscar Wilde.

Answer 3

Intelligence may (MAY) have a certain genetic predisposition, but upbringing is almost the exclusive cause for cleverness.

Answer 4

There's reason to think they're born. But environment has its effect, too.

Answer 5

Both

Answer 6

Probably more ENVIRONMENT. Parents can't take credit for everything! It's our environment (EVERYTHING around us) that impacts who we are--both in and out of our households.
