Infant and Toddler Temperament 

What is Temperament? 

Page 4
If you are currently a child care professional or have worked around children, you already know that all children react differently to situations and events. Even young infants have different dispositions that can be noticed very early on. This “personality” can be scientifically explained as a child’s temperament.
​
Temperament can be described as the way a person approaches and reacts to the world around them. All children are born with a unique temperament that is rooted in their biology. Temperament is something that children are born with, and while it does not necessarily predict behavior, understanding a child’s temperament can help child care professionals assist children in expressing their feelings, preferences, and wants appropriately.
