- Intensity: The energy level of a response whether positive or negative. Does the infant react strongly and loudly to everything, even relatively minor events? Does the child show pleasure or upset strongly and dramatically? Or does the child just get quiet when upset? Intense children are more likely to have their needs met and may have depth and delight of emotion rarely experienced by others. These children may be gifted in dramatic arts. Intense children tend to be exhausting to live with.
Here you will need to help your infant/toddler learn how to handle their emotions, it is called self regulation. When your infant's needs are met and you discuss what will happen next your infant/toddler develops trust and begins to understand that she does not scream or throw a tantrum to get her needs met. Healthy emotional development begins during the infant/toddler years. This also helps with transitions and this skill is need for school but you must give these skills before your infant turns 3years old . that is when the brain has most of it's growth, the wires are being connected.www.sabreeeducationalservices.com
On of the things that many adults who care for infants/toddlers in a group practice : is having a schedule for feeding all infants/toddlers the same time and wanting all of them to sleep at the same time not recognizing that each child's biological function is different. Many infants/toddlers cry them selves to sleep ,this is stress on the brain and can become toxics stress over time.
