Exploring Temperaments

On-Demand Class · Emotions & Behavior

Understand your child’s unique behavioral traits and help them navigate their emotions and the world with greater confidence, self-love, and self-awareness.

Class Description

Some children are naturally outgoing, while others are shy. And some tend to be more focused, while others are constantly intrigued by their surroundings. As a parent, you may already be familiar with your child’s behavioral traits and quirks like these - but do you know what they really mean, and how to work with them for the best outcomes? ​The Exploring Temperaments program gives you a deeper understanding of your child’s behavioral makeup - and the attunement-based tools for matching your parenting approach with your child’s unique personality. Program Highlights: The truth about temperaments: Discover the fascinating ways your child’s temperament influences their decisions, relationships, response to stress and adversity, and how they show up in the world. Your own temperament matters too: Your personal temperament is equally as important as your child’s - here’s how to harmonize both, and strengthen your bond with each other. The 9 types of temperaments: A simple framework that gives you a deeper understanding of the unique person your child really is (you can use this on yourself too). Taking on the world: A guide to helping your child navigate their environment and the people around them. You’ll also learn how to best deal with temperament-based challenges like social anxiety, overstimulation, antisocial behavior, and more. A unique approach for a unique individual: How to adapt your parenting style to your child’s individual strengths and weaker areas, so you can help them achieve their full emotional, social, and intellectual potential.
