Human Growth and Development / Unit 4 HGD 0461 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Easy, Difficult and Slow to Warm Up
Captions available
The idea
Thomas and Chess grouped infants as easy, about forty percent; difficult, about ten percent; and slow to warm up, about fifteen percent.
In practice
About a third of infants fitting none of the three, a mix of traits instead.
Where people slip
The misconception is that tantrums mean a difficult temperament. Occasional tantrums are typical; temperament is a consistent pattern.
