What are the recommended parenting strategies for different children's temperaments?
What will be an ideal response?
For one, pay attention and give respect to individuality; thus, work toward goals differently for each child. Additionally, structure the environment differently for each child. Crowded noisy environments are harder for difficult children than easier children. Children with a slow-to-warm-up temperament could use slower entry to new contexts. Additionally, avoid pigeonholing children into categories and giving negative labels, such as "difficult" as this could be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
