• Temperament is the tendency to react in a certain way, such as in a cheery or grumpy way. • Experts think temperament is partly inherited • It is believed that a person’s temperament may be due to prenatal conditions and ease of birth. • A baby’s temperament often shows by two or three months. • In many children, but not all, temperament stays the same for years.

Family and other factors being major influences. • Described personality in 8 stages that cover a persons lifespan. Each stage presents a specific developmental change for the person
Learning to trust • During each stage, the person faces an important task that must be met. Each task can have a positive or negative outcome. • No one is 100% in any stage, but the more successful you are, the better. • For infants, the first stage is the Trust VS Mistrust stage, where infants learn whether to trust you or not
Learning to trust • If a babies basic needs are met with consistency, then they feel the world is a good and happy place. • Two key factors are essential in whether infants learn to trust. 1) Must trust by having a consistent environment which includes sameness routines, caregivers and surroundings 2) Having their basic needs met promptly each time, including feedings, clothing, warmth, sleep, cleanliness, cuddling, playing and communicating with others
