Temperament is made up of a unique combination of genetic traits that organizes our approach to the world. A child’s temperament influences how she behaves toward, and is affected by, the world around her. Parenting methods that are effective with one child may not work well with another – even within the same family. Understanding temperament can help parents identify their child’s unique strengths and challenges and the most effective ways to help them thrive.
12:45-2:15 p.m.To be announced.
