What Temperament Really Is—and Why It Matters for Parenting w/ Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar
In today’s episode developmental psychologist and temperament expert Dr. Corley Perez-Edgar joins us to talk all about temperament. We dive into the science of temperament—how it develops in early childhood, how it shapes the way kids experience the world, and what it means for parenting. We cover the biological basis of temperament, the difference between shyness and social anxiety, and how parents can support children’s unique traits without trying to “fix” them. We also discuss new research on parent-child synchrony and what it reveals about how children borrow regulation from their caregivers.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!
