What is Temperament?

This article explains 9 temperament traits such as:

- Sensitivity

- Activity Level

- Regularity

- Approach and Withdrawal

- Adaptability

- Mood

- Intensity

- Persistence

- Distractibility

This article explains some of the reasons behind why a student may act "difficult" in the classroom and how it has to do with a child's temperament and lifestyle at home. Some ways to help manage a classroom with different temperament styles include setting behavior expectations, using positive reinforcement, and staying sensitive to mental health challenges.

This is a quick and easy source from the University of Nebraska's College of Education and Health Sciences that explains the definition of temperament and what it looks like in young children. This source explains that there is no "good or bad" temperament in children, it just is important how their behavioral styles fit in to the classroom and that they are included.
