Temperament
Temperament
Order Description
Reflect on the following questions:
1. How might Ben's temperament influenced his behavior?
2. What do you think of the way Ben's teacher handled the situation? Why? What do you think her intent was in the way she talked with Harry? How might this be an
example of trying to create a "better fit" between the child's temperament and the adult's perceptions and reactions?
3. If you were Ben's teacher, what would you have done? Why? How do you think your own temperament (or the preference and style of Ben's teacher) might influence your
reaction?
