Explain the interaction and fit between the child’s temperament and the caregiver’s temperament and how this may relate to their bond formation.
What will be an ideal response?
While temperament describes a child’s basic personality, the most important factor in the child’s future outcome is the goodness of fit between the caregiver’s temperament and the child’s temperament. Goodness of fit cannot only be how well the caregiver’s temperament matches that of the child but also how well the caregiver understands, accepts, and works with the child’s temperament. For example, the way a caregiver views the temperament of the child can impact parenting behaviors and thus the caregiver-child relationship. A child with a difficult temperament who experiences intense emotions may be viewed as overly emotional and demanding or vivacious. The viewpoint of the caregiver directs his or her responses to the child and thus encourages or discourages the parent-child bond.
