"This book … should revolutionize parenting for many readers." —Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop, from the Foreword From a Respected Pediatrician Comes This Liberating Approach to Parenting Dr. William B. Carey, director of Behavioral Pediatrics at the renowned Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, brings important research to the public in this enlightening book. Unlike many approaches to parenting that view children in relation to just one particular trait or behavior, Understanding Your Child's Temperament offers a way to look at your child in his or her totality, as a combination of nine different kinds of behavioral styles. Temperament is an individual's unique way of reacting to people, things, and situations—at home, at school, and in the community. Anxious parents can breathe a sigh of relief: Dr. Carey makes it clear that a child's temperament is mostly inborn, and not something caused by "good" or "bad" parenting. And, reassuringly, he explains that while about 50 percent of a child's temperament is genetic, parents can learn to work with it to prevent and reduce problems. Using Dr. Carey's practical strategies, parents will learn how to: 
<ul>
<li>profile a child's temperament in relation to nine aspects: activity • adaptability • distractibility • initial reaction • intensity • mood • persistence and attention span • regularity • sensitivity</li> <li>see both the positive and negative sides of temperaments</li> <li>apply the most rewarding techniques for working with your child's inborn nature</li> <li>tailor parental discipline to each child's temperament, and more</li> </ul> Comprehensive and filled with Dr. Carey's warm and wise counsel, Understanding Your Child's Temperament belongs in every family's library and is sure to be consulted again and again. http://www.mgr.com

Why does one child and not another in a normal family develop a behavior problem? If a child is sensitive and likely to complain, how does that affect the quality and quantity of the medical care provided? What happens to the neurologically intact child who has trouble paying attention in school?Children's temperaments make a substantial contribution to their environments and their interactions with them. Certain of these largely inborn behavioral style differences, which are not abnormal in themselves, may lead to clinical problems by predisposing children to abrasive, incompatible relationships with caregivers.In this book, William B. Carey and Sean C. McDevitt present a clear, concise summary of the recent clinical research on temperament, in particular from the last ten years, coupled with practical suggestions on how to use this information in a variety of clinical and educational settings. These management strategies were assembled from their own extensive clinical experience and that of others. They take the professional—psychologist, physician, nurse, teacher, day care worker, and social worker—through all the stages of a child's life to show how the effects of temperament play out in infancy, the preschool years, middle childhood, and adolescence.Richly illustrated with detailed case examples, this outstanding book brings theory and practice to life and shows how all who work with children can improve their care by understanding these important differences.

Temperamental individuality has an important impact on children's physical health, development, and behavior. Problems arise mainly from a "poor fit" between the child and the environment rather than abnormality in either.
