A "difficult temperament" refers to a personality style characterized by intense emotional reactions, irritability, and a tendency to be easily frustrated. Individuals with this temperament may struggle with adapting to new situations and can be more sensitive to sensory stimuli. This can lead to challenges in social interactions and daily routines. Children with a difficult temperament often exhibit behaviors such as frequent crying, resistance to change, and difficulty in calming down. Understanding this temperament is important for caregivers and educators, as it can help them provide appropriate support and strategies to foster emotional regulation and social skills in children.
