A framework for understanding your child's temperament
Drawing on the four temperament types from ancient Greek medicine, Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy, and Phlegmatic, this course gives parents and caregivers a way to make sense of a child's personality that goes beyond guesswork. Each type comes with its own strengths and weaknesses, and most children show traits from more than one.
Why it's useful
Rather than boxing a child into a single label, the course positions temperament as a lens: understanding it helps you support their needs, lean into their strengths, work around their weaknesses, and build a stronger day-to-day relationship. It also connects temperament to how a child feels loved and accepted, which shapes practical, type-specific ways to connect.
What you'll take away
By the end, you'll be able to name all four temperament types, identify which ones most likely describe your child, and apply a handful of concrete tips for connecting with each one. Aimed at anyone raising or working with children.
About this course
Connecting with a child can be challenging, especially when they are so different from ourselves. Ancient Greek medicine gave us four basic types of people, or temperament types- Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy, and Phlegmatic- each one unique and interesting. Understanding those four types and their strengths and weaknesses can help you determine which one (or more than one) fits your child. Having this information can then assist you in supporting your child's needs, encourage their strengths, work within their weaknesses, and give you another tool for building a rewarding relationship with your child.
This course is intended to help you understand your child's unique personality, giving you better insight into who they are and why they do what they do. It is not intended to box you or your child into one definition or label, but instead to aid you in supporting who they are now AND who they will become in the future. By the end you should be able to name all four temperament types, identify which one(s) most likely fits your child, and understand how that innate personality links to how they feel loved and accepted. You will then get a few tips for connecting with each type.
If you are raising or working with children, this course is for you!
