Didn’t find any related back post. I searched for ‘strong will’, ‘strong personality’, etc, but not finding a detailed guide. Will appreciate if you could share some thoughts about a strong willed child.

Love & regards…

I love your blog and consider it my go-to resource for parenting questions and challenges. I have a 3.5 year old son who is very strong willed. I have read your posts about that age group, and he sounds like a normal kid for that age, but he is certainly very strong willed. It is a daily struggle to get him to brush his teeth, go to the restroom, come for his nap, etc etc. He wants his wishes to rule at all times. He is a nice and bright boy, but very difficult to handle at times. I read your post on the Four Temperaments, but need more info on how to raise him lovingly while staying sane.

Regards,
LivingAndLearning

you can have two dominant temperaments, so perhaps he really is both right now, especially at that transitional stage of 8 where sanguine is a predominant feature of the 7 year old child and under…

Also I notice there can be a lot of variance in descriptions from author to author – for example I have seen the math process of division assigned to both sanguine and choleric types. This is such a fascinating subject! And it’s always exciting to learn more! Thanks Carrie!

Was it “Waldorf in the Home with your one to two year old”?

I’ve been reading about temperaments but I’m not sure how I’m to figure out which one my child has. Do you have any suggestions/direction?
thank you,
Sherene

And agree with a previous commenter on your last post that there are some striking similarities to Yoga’s system of doshas, etc.

Sorry to ask this unrelated question, but I’ve been combing the archives today trying to find a post I loved but forgot to bookmark – it was about inner work, developing rhythm, etc, when you know you plan to homeschool but your kids are still young. As I look toward the 3-5 timeframe for my currently 2.5 year old, I want to revisit that post…happen to know which one I mean? :)
