Child Temperament: How We Start to Become Ourselves | David C Rettew | TEDxBurlingtonED
This talk will start with a very brief description of what child temperament is and how it develops over time. Particular attention will be given to how a child’s temperament can pull from the environment certain qualities that often serve to accentuate traits and propel them to become more extreme. The role of a parent will then be discussed, including issues of labelling children and the important task of being able to “override” natural but sometimes suboptimal parental responses. Finally, there will be a short investigation into what we know about the boundaries between what are called temperament or personality traits and what are called psychiatric symptoms or disorders.
David Rettew is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. He is the Training Director of the UVM Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship and the Director of the Pediatric Psychiatry Clinic at the UVM Medical Center. He completed his adult and child psychiatry training at Harvard Medical School within the Massachusetts General and McLean Hospital program. Dr. Rettew joined the UVM faculty in 2002 where he divides his time between clinical, teaching and research activities. His main research interest is the role of temperament and personality factors in childhood psychiatric disorders. Dr. Rettew has over 100 published journal articles, chapters, and scientific abstracts on a variety of child mental health topics, including a recent book entitled Child Temperament: New Thinking About the Boundary Between Traits and Illness. He also writes a blog for Psychology Today called the “ABCs of Child Psychiatry.”

Thank you for this excellent talk, issues every therapist and teacher
F Maj, A Min. -- what a metaphor for those of us without trained ears! It made me think: start with lots of failure and glimmers of success; nurture the child to 'progress' (like a chord does) -- or in the scientists' words, "adapt" -- to make something of their life.
yes, music is the way that can affect most children and create an outcome of kindness. Music.
Music can be interpreted in so many different ways but the composer almost always has a specific intent and most often evokes the intended response. God’s already designed a plan for our kids, as we seek Him and become more knowledgeable through His word, research and presentations like these, we gain more wisdom. This “override” probably doesn’t just apply to kids but to how we respond to all different types of temperaments we meet daily. Our response is our responsibility!
Children don't come with instruction Manuel, this is true. And Music is the key you can hear it, but the possibility of what that song will eventually sound like remains endless.
I'm melancholic personality

What were you talking about with making kits? what isn't family oriented about it?

Matt, I was raised by parents whose temperament type is very different than my own so I can relate. Do you feel that you've found yourself again and have adopted a lifestyle that is suitable to your temperament type?
too complex. everyone needs all four temperaments within his reach. delegating leadership is more effective than trying to imitate other temperaments (true vs fake)
