Yes it does. Temperament has major impact on the child's separation anxiety. In my class, Alex is very active and he did not feel too anxiety when parents left him. He started exploring the class very soon after parents left him.

In the other hand, Alina, who has a different temperament, is a slow to warm child, she takes a much longer time crying and calling for her mother.

Yes. Temperament does affect separation anxiety. A child's temperament can cause them to be slow to warm up to others, have more elaborate or calmer responses to separation anxiety, or cause them to react to separation anxiety only in extreme circumstances.

Yes. Temperament is written into a child's biology. Temperament can define how a child reacts to given situations. Every child's temperament is different and therefore every child reacts differently to separation and has different levels of separation anxiety.

Yes all children feel anxious when left but it does depend on the individual personality of the child to how long or to what degree the separation anxiety lasts.

Temperament does affect separation anxiety. slow to warm babies may take longer and have more severe signs of anxiety, like crying. Flexible temperament may have an easier time adjusting.

Yes although separation anxiety is normal,the severity of it can depend on the temperament of each child and what soothes one child may not work on another so you have to figure out each child and what will work to help transition them best...

Temperament can have an impact on whether or not a child experiences separation anxiety or not. This is because temperament is rooted in the child's biology and affects how the react to the world around them. If a child is built and wired as a cautious observer, it may be an alarm to them to experience new people, places and things. This can cause anxiety.

Dennis Paul

Kimberlee Peterson

Yes. Because temperament is the description of how an individual approaches the world about them. When a child faces something stressful like a new caregiver or surroundings, the child will react according to a fairly predictable temperament pattern: slow to warm, active or flexible. Identifying this pattern of behavior assists a trained caregiver in how to approach the anxiety of a child.at separation.

They can be calm and feel at ease or feisty or over sensitive .

Separation anxiety is very normal for children. The unique temperament of each child will effect how extreme and at what length this anxiety will manifest itself. Slow/cautious, will take the longest time to feel comfortable, easy/flexible temperament will exhibit a normal range of emotion, while the active/feisty child will have a very limited amount of showing anxiety.

A child's temperament does have impact on separation anxiety, but it varies from one child to another. For example, a slow to warm child may experience separation anxiety for a longer time due to his/her less receptive to change and new surroundings even after repeated exposure. While an easy to flexible child might only show slow signs of separation anxiety for a short period of time.

Irina

A child's temperament affects his separation anxiety a lot. The reason of it is that both temperament and separation anxiety are related to a human biological organization and how the child reacts on separating from his main caregiver mostly depends on how his nervous system is developed and organized. Knowing that and understanding the child's temperament can help a school or social worker make the child's transition easier.
