Getting Ready for the next Topic Small Group Discussion Think of a child that you know his/her behavior, how he/she responds to the world, or people in the environment. Q: So, what is the reason for the child s personality ? Considering a child s personality , what may be some concerns about the parent-child relationship,
Think of two (or three different children that you know) that are 6-12 years old. How are they different? Why are they different? Do the child(ren s) parent(s) treat them differently because of the child(ren s) respective personality ? Knowing about Temperament will help answer these questions.
