This session uses a variety of interactive learning activities to introduce the nine temperament traits and three temperament types of infants and toddlers, based on the work of Stella Chess and Alexander Thomas and presented in the PITC DVD Flexible, Fearful or Feisty: The Different Temperaments of Infants and Toddlers. This session offers participants the opportunity to explore their understanding of temperament by creating a profile of their own temperament and the temperament of someone close to them. This exploration allows participants to discover and examine the influence of individual differences in temperament on their relationships, especially with infants and toddlers. Discussion focuses on strategies for being responsive to children with different temperaments in group care.
