Today's Episode: The Nine Traits of Temperament

Why This Episode Matters: If there’s one episode you shouldn’t miss, this is it! We’ll explore the nine traits of temperament through an assessment from the book Raising Your Spirited Child. Get cozy, grab your notebook, and let's dig in.

Key Question: What Is a Good Kid?

We’ll start by examining this question, as posed in Raising Respectful Kids. It’s common to hear about the "fantasy" good kid—great listeners who follow instructions perfectly, enjoy the activities parents choose, do homework on time, and are always pleasant.

Common Images of a Good Kid:

-Total control of emotions -Always happy -Uses words to communicate -Makes good choices -Well-behaved in public -Shares and is nice (for younger kids)

Reality Check: If this has been your vision, you’re not alone. But remember, there’s no such thing as a bad kid or a bad parent. In positive parenting, behavior is communication, and we focus on relationships rather than compliance.

Tune in to get a more realistic and compassionate view of what it means to raise a "good kid."
