A difficult child reacts negatively and cries frequently, engages in irregular daily routines, and is slow to accept change.
Psychiatrists Alexander Chess and Stella Thomas conducted a study by interviewing the parents of 141 children. Based on the responses, they identified three basic types of temperament in children:
1. The Easy Child (40%), who is usually in a positive mood and easily adjusts to new situations.
2. The Difficult Child (10%), who displays a negative attitude and has difficulty in adapting to new experiences.
3. The Slow-to-Warm-Up Child (15%), who is subdued, displays a somewhat negative mood and adjusts slowly to new circumstances.
It is essential for a caregiver to understand the temperament of each child.
