Description:
In Understanding Your Child's Temperament, Dr. William Carey, Director of Pediatrics at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, makes it clear that a child's temperament is mostly inborn, and not something caused by "good" or "bad" parenting. Dr. Carey has identified nine inherent personality characteristics, and offers suggestions for parents to work with rather than against, their own childrens' natural temperaments. The book examine the effects of these characteristics on a wide range of life experiences, from infancy through adolescence, and challenges the widespread overuse of medications for behavior "problems". Its reassuring approach will enable parents to deal confidently with a range of temperament issues.
