[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 588357, member: 14557"] People have different kinds of temperaments. It is just a difference, not disorder or pathological issue. There I live temperament types and how that influences to child development has been one of the main topics in child psychology for last ten years at least. Temperament is inborn and it greatly influences child's behaviour and what will be their challenges and what is easy to them and also how they are to parent. Not all kids have tantrums and there are big differences in level of natural tendency to violence in kids before they are socialised. But that doesn't mean that kid with tantrums and tendency to violent behaviours would have a disorder, something wrong in them or even 'different wiring' (well if we don't consider different temperaments different wirings.) Also kid who is shy and slow to warm up to new people or situations is not faulty, disordered or anything like that. They just have different temperament. There just is variance in normal human behaviour. Challenges in raising kids with different temperament types are different and people with different temperaments are also different in adulthood, but we can't really make a norm from one temperament type and decide that shy or fussy or active or whatever kids are abnormal and just have to have some disorder. EDIT: Let's add that I have one child with feisty temperament and one with flexible. My feisty one has some temperament traits that are so extreme that they go from normal to pathological (especially his sensory threshold and also his activity is at least close to pathological and he is extreme side of normalcy with others) and when you add social skills issues and some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) type traits and anxiety, you get a difficult child. I myself am a mix, my husband is flexible. All of us are capable for temper tantrums time to time when things are stressful enough. difficult child of course is most prone to them. [/QUOTE]
