Document Summary
The genetic predisposition response in particular to one"s physical and social environments. Certain cultural groups encourage certain types of behaviors. In the classroom, there may be multiple temperaments. For students with high energy levels, minimize downtime between activities. Be especially warm and attentive with very shy students. When students have trouble adapting to new circumstances, give them advance notice of unusual activities and provide extra structure and reassurance. If students seem overwhelmed by noisy or chaotic situations, find or create a more calm and peaceful environment for them. Teach self regulation strategies to students who act impulsively. Children with secure attachments to their parents are more likely to be amiable, affectionate, independent, self confident, and cooperative than those with insecure or no attachments. Children of authoritative parents (characterized by emotional warmth, high standards for behavior, explanation and consistent enforcement of rules, and inclusion of children in decision making) are more apt to be happy, energetic, self-confident, likeable, and popular.
