Temperament Video

Are you an extrovert? Is your child more of an introvert? Are you a night-hawk while your child is an early riser? Temperament is a part of our inherited makeup and it influences our behaviour in our relationships with our children, our partner and others. When parents understand their temperament traits and those of their child, everyone can benefit. These videos will introduce the concept of temperament, describe the different temperament traits and identify the importance of the goodness of fit between you and your child's temperament.
