Discuss temperament, including the characteristics of the easy, difficult, and slow-to-warm-up child and how parenting can affect each of these temperaments
What will be an ideal response?
Temperament is the physical, genetically derived core of one's personality. The three temperament styles of child are easy, difficult, and slow-to-warm-up. Children displaying an easy temperament style are agreeable and outgoing, while also being relaxed around strangers. Parents may reinforce desirable behaviors in easy children by rewarding them with food or positive sensory experiences when they engage in a positive behavior. Difficult children are often moody, intense, and easily angered. Parents may find managing such children difficult and may inadvertently reinforce negative behaviors by being less responsive to them due to fatigue. Children who are slow to warm-up may be restrained, unexpressive, or shy, and their difficulty with strangers may condition parents to hold off on introducing them to others
