Temperament, personality, and parenting: What you do (and don't) have control over as a parent with Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar

How can you honor who your child is while still equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in our fast-paced world?

That's exactly what I'm talking about with my guest, McCourtney Professor of Child Studies and Professor of Psychology at Penn State, Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar.

In this episode, we dive into:

- What temperament actually is from a psychological standpoint (it's probably not what you think it is!) and the factors professionals use to measure and map it out.

- What impact temperament has on the way sensitive, shy, or explosive children regulate their emotions and respond to their environment.

- How parents can create opportunities for their child to become self-actualized and why focusing on self-actualization is the precursor to helping them achieve and thrive.

- Inhibited versus exuberant - how finding the right niche for a child's unique temperament can define their success, even if it doesn't align with traditional expectations.

- How to find that middle ground between pushing your child when they need a bit of encouragement and nurturing them when they need more support and scaffolding.

Tune in for valuable insights that will help you navigate the complexities of parenting with more confidence and compassion!
