Have you ever looked at your child after he/she says something and say " Where did he get that from ? " Well, the truth is that he/she probably got that characteristic from you.

Most children will inherit the personality of their parents and mimic that personality by the age of 4 - so if you see your child acting a certain way, just remember that they are mimicing what they saw you do (or someone who they are around alot).

Another way to understand your child is also to know what his/her personality is. Some children are Type A - they are natural leaders. Some are detail oriented and this child will have to have things in a certain order and a definate system.

If you want peace and harmony in your home - learn your childrens personality and look at yourself to see where their habits are being formed.

We all have a certain way of " filling in." Everybody has a look, an attitude, a certain role and demeanor that they choose when dealing with others. This is your personality and it dictates what you get back from the world.

Many times our personality was formed at an early age. Some people say as young as age 4 is when your personality was formed. What many people overlook is the fact that your personality can be affected by your surroundings, your past and those defining moments in your life.

The Four Temperament Types ( as taken from Wikipedia )

Sanguine

The Sanguine temperament personality is fairly extroverted. People of a sanguine temperament tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be quite loud. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean very sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when pursuing a new hobby, interest is lost quickly when it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. For some people, these are the ones you want to be friends with and usually they become life long friends.

Choleric

A person who is choleric is a do-er. They have a lot of ambition, energy, and passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were cholerics. They like to be leaders and in charge of everything.

Melancholic

A person who is a thoughtful ponderer has a melancholic disposition. Often very considerate and get rather worried when they could not be on time for events, melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become occupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. A melancholic is also often a perfectionist. They are often self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is sometimes they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.

Phlegmatic

Phlegmatics tend to be self-content and kind. They can be very accepting and affectionate. They may be very receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are very consistent, relaxed, rational, curious, and observant, making them good administrators and astronauts.

Understanding these personality traits will help you understand what makes you tick but also will help you understand how other people react or respond.
