Insights into Children’s Temperament
A school-based intervention program delivered to urban elementary students (ages 4-7), with the participation of parents and teachers, to address disruptive behaviors. Parents, teachers, and clinicians are taught to recognize children’s behavioral expressions of temperaments, and to use temperament-based strategies to improve their relationships with children. They are also provided with alternative attentional and behavioral disciplinary strategies to use with children. Throughout the program sessions, teachers and parents are given a framework to appreciate individual differences in children, and develop child-management strategies directed at reducing behavior problems.
