Supporting Children’s Social-Emotional Wellbeing: A Closer Look at Temperament and Goodness of Fit Theory

Do you ever wonder how two children with the same parents can be so different? About why some children are so easygoing and others are more challenging? One major factor at play is temperament. Temperament is an important feature of children’s social-emotional well-being and describes how they approach the world.

In “Supporting Children’s Social-Emotional Wellbeing: A Closer Look at Temperament and Goodness of Fit Theory,” participants will explore different temperament traits and learn how the goodness of fit theory supports children’s social and emotional well-being.

Hosted by Trying Together and ELRC Region 5, this course, while available for all STAR programs, meets the STAR 3/4 PD topic requirements in PSCECE Area 4.
