He will be king of the sandpit and organiser of the whole family. Because of his self confidence, the Choleric isn't usually concerned about other people's opinions and will say what he thinks with honesty - almost to the point of brutality. The little Choleric will test the limits to see how far he can go. He thrives on activity that's productive and needs to have definite areas of responsibility and leadership, with increasing responsibility as he matures. If you are the parent of a strong willed toddler, things mightn't be easy now, but take heart, these kids are often easier as teenagers than children who are naturally compliant.
Compliant toddlers are easy to manage because they thrive on approval and pleasing people.
As teenagers, these tots may be easily led because they still seek the same things - approval and pleasing their peers. Strong willed children aren't easily led by anybody - you while they are little, or their peers when they are teenagers. The little Melancholy may have the greatest talents of any of the personalities, with a brilliant mind and the ability to be a creative, deep thinker. But his gifts may be undermined by his sensitivity. It's easy for the Melancholy to have his feelings hurt and to feel inferior.
