Here’s a website to help you find the answer!
From a terrific presentation on temperament at Adelphi University’s Institute for Parenting we learned about a great online resource for parents and professionals who want to learn more about temperament and its influence on the parent/child relationship.
On this temperament website you’ll be able to find ideas to help you with a challenging child, take a temperament quiz to learn about yourself, and sign up for an electronic newsletter in which “Each issue contains ideas for effective and respectful responses to challenging behavior, research news, letters from parents and early interventionists, book reviews and more.”
While the site is geared to parents and caregivers of “high maintenance” children from birth to age twelve, you’ll find lots of information to guide you through the everyday challenges of parenting even if you don’t have a high maintenance child.
Let us know if you find the website helpful!
