Temperament is the innate characteristics of the individual. Part of his personality is his style. In other words, what he does is not why he does it the most, but how he does it, how he expresses his feelings. In fact, the expression “his style”, as we often use it, means his temperament.
Therefore, we cannot expect the reaction of every child to be the same in every behavior. For example, some people may like a gift and fly in the air, some may get stuck on a feature they don’t like, and some may not react at all or even frown.
This temperament, which we can call this behavior style, is innate, not just heredity and environment. Of course, heredity, environment, family environment influence and shape temperament and personality, but they are never the root cause of temperament.
Heredity, genes can have a fifty percent effect on an individual’s personality, temperament, and even some of you, when you ask your parents “how was I when I was a child”, you saw how your child looks like you or asks his aunt, aunt, uncle, etc. But sometimes you might say, “Who is this kid attracted to?”, “Why don’t I get it like that?” This is where individuality comes into play.
Every person is different and special and may have different temperaments, may not resemble any of their relatives, or may resemble someone we do not want, we cannot prevent this. It is also a fact that the more we react negatively to the style (temperament) of our children, the more we will react that we do not like, but if we accept and respect them as such and engage in less intervention and struggle, sad and wearisome situations will not arise.
