Document Summary

There are three dimensions of temperament that most impact social development. Self -regulation: includes focusing attention, controlling one"s action, and expressing strong feelings in a socially acceptable way. The range of emotions is the usual tone of the child"s mood. The range from shy to extroverted describes the child"s interest and skills in being with other. Poor self-regulation can result in more aggression, it is challenging for toddlers to always control their emotions, though, and adults cannot expect that they will. The range from shy to extroverted describes whether children want to be with others. The exuberant children are outgoing and demonstrative. Inhibited children are those who seem very shy, hesitant to interact with peers, anxious, and fearful of peers, might actively withdraw from other children or be rejected. Inhibited toddlers are likely to be inhibited preschool children, unless they receive support and encouragement to enter the social world.
