Understanding Temperament
The Nine Temperament traits- where do you rate on these?
What makes all kids different?
If you have, or know, more than one child, you will recognise that they are all different. They respond in different ways, get upset by different things and express emotions in different ways. Why? What makes them different? How can we understand them? and how can we help them learn to manage their emotions. Well we can start to understand children by looking at their temperament.
A child’s temperament influences how they think, behave and react to circumstances. Temperament is the building blocks of personality and describes a child’s behavioural style. Temperament is made up of nine different traits. To understand this better watch our video (below) and download the worksheet to accompany it. Work through the worksheet seeing where your child is within each of the nine temperament traits, along with some helpful hints and tips for each trait.
