This may seem similar to At what age does a child's moral compass form?. If a child inherits short temper from parents or if it is innate, can we even consciously try to change it? What can parents do to provide an atmosphere which prevents it?

What can parents do to provide an atmosphere which prevents this temperament developing?

This may seem similar to At what age does a child's moral compass form?, but what i am referring to here is personality / behavioural traits in general. Things like being compassionate, humble, sentimental or short tempered. For example, both me and my wife can get extremely angry compared to an average person. I was a child who had a million questions. At what age do children form these? My son is only 10 months old. We are worried he may inherit undesirable ones. Can we even consciously try to change if he forms any?
