Overview

Maintaining that children grow and thrive when the environment and the parenting style are adapted to their temperament, this manual identifies individual temperament types and the challenging behavior clusters associated with them. It offers strategies to help parents understand the role temperament plays in behavior, understand their child’s inborn temperament, learn to appreciate and work with their child’s traits, learn to prevent behavior problems, and avoid blame and guilt. Charming illustrations and evocative child names enhance the verbal descriptions.
