The purpose of these blogs on temperament is to help you to recognize that differences in temperament in young does not mean that the child has a problem. Just like adults we have our own temperament . You may have a friend who loves rock climbing and another one that love sky diving but you will not do those activities ,that is your temperament. Your friends may have been introduced to those activities when they were infants/toddlers also. Experiences help top build a brain .If your infant/toddler has a temperament that you deem troublesome ,the objective should not be to protect the child from situations that you may dean interruptive instead you should guide that child towards the behavior that you want.
A lot of times a child whose behavior is different from the average is labeled by mental health professionals as having a behavior problem, when the child is showing only normal temperament. for example some children need to move a lot ,they get labeled as being hyperactive and is referred for services when thy are only showing normal temperament.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
