While ambiguities exist around the idea, secure attachments between a child and their caregiver greatly influence the type of leader a child may become, the type of relationships they will form, and the type of lessons they learn from their experiences.
However, other possible explanations may include the environment in which the child is educated, exposure to the media, or unpleasant experiences with peers. A child's performance or experience in school may influence the type of college life they lead; those who form healthy relationships with teachers or classmates are more likely to seek and establish similar relationships in college. If a child is used to hearing and permitted to play music that degrades a particular group of people, he or she will grow up believing that such behavior is acceptable and maybe even encouraged, as well as perceive other types of music to not be "legitimate." Furthermore, when a child is bullied, no matter how well their relationship with their family, that relationship with a peer can overshadow the confidence they display at home and either cause them to become aggressive or introverted people.
