The parents of a one-month-old infant are concerned that their baby seems different from their other child, and they ask the nurse if this is normal
The nurse informs them that it is normal for babies to have different temperaments and that according to the "temperament theory" of Chess and Thomas, one of the characteristics of the "slow-to-warm-up" child is that he: 1. Initially reacts to new situations by withdrawing.
2. Commonly has intense reactions to the environment.
3. Displays a predominately negative mood.
4. Shows a regularity in patterns of eating.
