What is your toddler's temperament?


Want to learn how to become a more sensitive and intuitive parent? Take this quiz to discover your toddler's true personality type so that you can learn how to better meet her needs. Select the answers that reflect your toddler's most typical behaviour - the way he or she usually acts or reacts.

1. When he wakes up in the morning, my toddler:
  Rarely cries - he plays in his cot until I come in
  Coos and looks around until he gets bored
  Needs immediate attention or else he starts crying
  Screams for me to come in
  Whimpers to let me know he's up
 
2. Thinking back to her first bath, I remember that my child:
  Hated it and cried
  Took to the water like a duck
  Was a little surprised at the sensation but liked it almost immediately
  Was very sensitive - she shook a little and seemed afraid
  Was wild, flailing about and splashing
 
3. When interrupted during an activity, my toddler:
  Wails and kicks and throws himself on the floor
  Cries as if his heart were breaking
  Stops easily
  Sometimes cries but can be cajoled into a new activity
  Cries for several minutes before he recovers
 
4. My toddler displays anger by:
  Having a tantrum like it's the end of the world
  Being out of control - she tends to throw things
  Being aggressive - she tends to push or shove
  Whimpering - but she can be quickly consoled or easily distracted
  Displaying obvious signs (clenched fist, grimace or crying) - she needs reassurance to work through her feelings
 
5. During playtimes with other children, my toddler:
  Gets involved, but every now and then gets upset with other children
  Whines or cries easily, especially when another child grabs his toy
  Runs around a lot and gets involved in everything
  Doesn't want to be involved - he stays on the sidelines
  Is happy and actively involved
 
6. When taken to a new house or unfamiliar setting, my toddler:
  Jumps straight in but doesn't quite know what to do with herself
  Tends to baulk and get angry or may go off by herself
  Adapts easily, smiles and quickly engages
  Needs a little time to adapt - she'll give a smile but turn away quickly
  Is easily distressed - she hides behind me or buries herself in my clothes
