Child Temperament:
Measuring temperament involves measuring
ACTIVITY LEVEL
PHYSICAL SENSITIVITY & SENSORY PROCESSING
Emotional Intensity
SOCIABILITY: INTERACTION WITH OTHERS
ADAPTING TO CHANGE
PERSISTENCE
It is believed that these traits are inborn and are essentially a part of a person's personality for life.
