While I would agree with the above, remember a large amount of what your child does will be in spite of how you try to shape them.
I remember a friend telling me all the reasons their first two kids turned out to be so relaxed and happy - until they had a 3rd an all the same tricks didn't work.
Our data set is always going to be small (and our reporting skewed) when it comes to our children. Doesn't mean it isn't worth trying to shape them, but don't be shocked when not everything works for every child. Or maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better for my relaxed training of our kids ;)
