Whether you are about to become a parent, are new to parenting, or have been a parent for a while, there may be times when you ponder about your parenting skills. For example you may wonder if you are doing the best you can for your child, or whether you are providing enough of what your child requires other than the basic needs.
If you have a parenting style that is based on helping your child develop and grow into a happy and healthy person, there is a good chance that you have a very nice personality. On the other hand, you may have an idea for how you want your child to be, regardless of what they want for themselves. In that case it's possible that there are times when you are not very nice to your child.
A toxic personality is someone whose ideas and actions make life harder for those around them. If you take this quiz and find out that you have a toxic personality, you might want to consider making some changes in your life. On the other hand, if you find out you have a really nice personality, then you should take some time to feel good about yourself.
