This question is a bit broad for this site.  Maybe you should split the question up in order to narrow the field of information required as writing an answer for this would take more than a few paragraphs to give more than a general answer.

@Chris Thanks for responding. The question has now been edited to focus just on an individual's early years. I'd also be very interested in understanding the impact of genetics on one's personality features. However, as suggested, that bit of the question is now reserved for another day. Thank you.
