    TEMPERAMENT SCALE

    Use this scale to determine where your child falls with regards to each of the nine elements of temperament. These elements are your child's inborn ways of reacting to people and changes in the environment. Understanding these elements will give you insight into how your child will react in various situations or under particular circumstances.
