Temperament is the "personality" your child was born with. Research shows that "at risk" children have the following temperamental qualities:
Aloof : They have difficulty forming and enjoying loving relationships.
Impulsive: They have defective impulse control.
Fearless: They lack of fear. This lack of fear changes the way they respond to punishment.
Outgoing: They have a strong desire to explore the social and physical environment.
Dominant: They have a strong desire to be at the top of the pecking order.
Anger-Prone: They have a “hair-trigger” for anger.
