Temperament
Hi,
So why is knowing about childrens' temperaments helpful? Well, we have temperaments too and sometimes our temperament and a child's temperament is similar ... and sometimes our temperaments are different. It's easier to get on with some kids than with others. For instance if we are very quiet we may have difficulty with a child whose energy level is very high. Sometimes we wish certain aspects of our kids were different, or are annoyed by qualities our children have.
Understanding that temperament is inborn, we can bring more understanding to the child and accept them for who they are ...
Have you found this to be true? Looking at different aspects of temperament (see previous thread), can you spot your children and observe characteristics that you are drawn to, or have a little difficulty with? How have you worked with these differences?
