Temperament and Children by Alma Carrillo https://padlet.com/carrilloalma95/zi85qccot3vk Comparing and Contrasting Different Opinions and observations on Temperament and Children en-us 2017-01-16 16:35:57 UTC 2026-01-10 01:21:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Definition of the Text Book , pg. 172 carrilloalma95 https://padlet.com/carrilloalma95/zi85qccot3vk/wish/147386465 Temperament:
Involves individual differences in behavioral styles, emotions, and characteristics ways of responding.

You may ask ... AND...?
Okay so this is what I got, temperament is just the form or style or way that someone , in this case a child may react to in all different types of situations, like the book said , it can be in an emotional situations or conflict or in any other situations that the child may have to use emotions.

 Temperament is a set of in-born traits that organize the child’s approach to the world. 

OKAY....SO this is what I got from this definition, which I do not necessarily agree with , but I do not disagree either. Their way of seeing temperament is that we are already born with it. Their definition uses the word "in-born" trait. But how can it be in-born, if the newborn has not necessarily been exposed to emotional conflicts other than being detached from their 40 week comfortable home then exposed to the world. But my opinion , can the unborn suffer from trauma in the womb that could cause certain " in-born" traits such as their temperaments and behavioral approaches.

We can not do much about that, but what can be done is that we understand that no one is " good" or " bad" , to start off with. With that being said, parents should educate themselves if they seem worried or have observed any different activity from other children. So like they said , "Some children are noisier than other. Some are more cuddly than others. Some have more regular sleep patterns that others.." , clearly stating that everyone is different and that is totally okay. It is also completely fine and even encouraged for parents to understand how each child is going to respond differently to many different situations and conflicts in which their " in-born" temperament will definitively might shine through and could make the overall situation hard for everyone to handle. Once both the child and parent(s), understand how to approach and deal with the situation from the very beginning, this will help the child's development and help understand how they can complete task or work with others and deal with harder situations as they grow older and the situations become more complicated.  

So when things do not go so well, especially with the child, it is call " personality conflict", " incompatibility exists" , not the ideal situation for anyone.  If the situation is ideal, everything goes okay, it is called, " “goodness-of-fit " and this is when both the situation and environment, including others allow everything else go smooth.]]> 2017-01-16 17:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/carrilloalma95/zi85qccot3vk/wish/147389199 From the Textbook; Chess & Thomas' Classifications , and others carrilloalma95 https://padlet.com/carrilloalma95/zi85qccot3vk/wish/147391669 Temperament is linked to emotions therefore it can educate us by letting us know if the child or baby is a little slower or faster in reacting, emotionally to situations.

Chess & Thomas , both came up with a way to categorize children according to their reactions, emotionally and how long it lasts .

  1. Easy Child  ; generally positive attitude, established routine quickly and is okay with change and new experiences 
  2. Difficult Child; constantly crying and negative, does not have a routine, does not accept routine 
  3. Slow-to-warm-up Child; very neutral, not positive or negative attitude , simply slower to react
Even though these are few of the many other classifications that come children can be put in, sometimes just understanding what kind of attention and care each child might need when it comes to their emotional attention and health can be very important because from a very early age they will learn how to control their situations when their is behavior and emotion involve. With that, they will also learn how to take control , controlling their own methods, perhaps with help from a parent on how to calm or sooth themselves back to a stable level.

Also , "“goodness-of-fit" is mentioned again stating that again the overall environment and the way the parents handle the situation can influence. Parents that take on extra time to train and educate themselves on how to handle high-stress level environments, and modify them to fit both parent and child needs can improve and help everything!!!! Again, just learning what needs to be done and how to react and care for children with certain temperaments will help tons!!

Everyone is wired a little different and perhaps that early on trauma happened or the environment is not the best for the child to be able function at a comfortable level. But what is important is that both sides, both child and parents need to know what resources are provided and how they can teach others how to handle the episodes of temperaments. ]]> 2017-01-16 18:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/carrilloalma95/zi85qccot3vk/wish/147397385
