Why is it important to understand your child’s temperament?

Does your child get angry easily or cry hysterically?

Why is Jayden easier to calm down compared to Chloe?

Why can’t Yixuan sit and pay attention during storytime?

If these questions ring a bell, that’s your child’s temperament. Temperament is the way children respond to the world. It is the foundation of human personality and behaviour.

Temperament cannot be changed. You can’t change your child’s temperament. it is in our DNA. We are born with it. But DNA is only one part of the puzzle. Family, culture and experiences play other important parts of the puzzle too.

Think of your child’s temperament in these three qualities:

• Reactivity: how strongly your child reacts to things like exciting events or not getting their own way. Reactive children tend to have intense/strong feelings.
• Self-regulation: how much can your child manage his/her behaviour, including the way they show their feelings. It is also about controlling behaviour and being persistence.
• Sociability: how comfortable is your child when meeting new people or have new experiences.

You make a difference. Parents play crucial role in the development of children’s temperament and personality especially during the early years.
