Parents can relax knowing their child is well cared for in a safe, nurturing, educational environment. Each child is unique in his own learning needs and style which affects your family's needs for child care and other resources. Understanding what your child needs to help him grow and learn is very important in helping you to make good decisions about his child care and how you parent him. Part of understanding your child is understanding his natural temperament. Temperament is something every baby is born with, which forms a key component of his personality, and is as individual as his fingerprints.
Some child care environments work better for children with certain temperaments.
For example, if your child seems to react negatively to a lot of stimulation, a large child care center with many children may not be the place for him. When choosing child care, take into consideration your child's natural temperamant. There are many different elements that all play a part in your child's temperament.
