That's the truth. If you're cool and you encourage your kid to be cool, they might rebel and be a little assclown, but they might also be pretty cool.
For the most part I've always believed that babies are sensitive to tone of voice/inflection/accents/verbal cues, but not necessarily able to decode what the sounds mean to them (e.g.; words, sentences, phrases) until they start making sounds (apart from primal gurgling/screaming).
