Why do children respond so differently, even when they grow up in similar environments? Sam Roberts explores temperament, parenting patterns and what it means to support the individual child rather than trying to change who they are.
Every child experiences and responds to the world differently. In this conversation, clinical counselor Sam Roberts explores how temperament, personality and individual needs shape a child's experience—and how our own expectations and patterns as parents can influence the way we respond. Together, we consider what it means to observe before trying to change behavior, adapt our approach to the child in front of us, and create the conditions for each child to thrive in their own way.
