Temperament Tools

Working With Your Child's Inborn Traits

By Neville, Helen & Johnson, Diane

Publishers Summary:
One of your children is easy-going. The other one’s a challenge every single day. This book helps parents and teachers understand that temperament isn’t good or badâ€"it’s just the way we are. Recommended by Washington Post parenting columnist Marguerite Kelly, "Temperament Tools" explains young children. New research shows that children are different from the day they’re bornâ€"and their temperaments stay different no matter how they’re parented. But your children’s behavior does reflect their inborn traits; once you understand those traits, you’ll be better prepared to handle behavior. Written specifically to help with young children, "Temperament Tools" explains: • What’s normal for your child; • How you can manage challenging behavior and attitudes; • How you can teach your child to cope with his or her behavior; and • How all of you can avoid blaming and feeling guilty.
