Why can two children experience exactly the same thing... and respond completely differently?

Temperament gives us a really useful window into how children experience and respond to the world around them, and understanding it can change the way we make sense of behaviour. In this episode, I’m unpacking why I think temperament is one of the closest things we have to a behaviour cheat code.

You’ll hear:

✨ The three broad temperament types: slow-to-warm, easygoing and spirited

✨ The assumptions we can make about each (and why we need to question them)

✨ Why understanding temperament gives us some pretty powerful predictive information

✨ What goodness of fit means and how we can adapt our support to the child in front of us

The more we understand about the child showing us the behaviour, the better placed we are to anticipate what they might find tricky - and support them through it.

I cover temperament in much greater detail in my guide 'Tuning In To Temperament' - check it out here
