Getting to know yourself is an important part of being an effective early childhood professional. For your written assignment, you will focus on mapping your temperament and a temperament of someone you know. After your mapping work, you will interpret how to make good choice in your interactions with the person whose temperament you mapped as well as make decisions regarding how to best advocate for your own needs based on your temperament.
Complete this temperament tool graphing your temperament and the temperament of someone you know (sibling, spouse, friend, child,). You should use one tool and indicate the two different temperaments by using colors, initials, or some other marking of your choice.

A paragraph describing your temperament, a paragraph describing the temperament of the person you chose to map, and a paragraph highlighting the similarities and differences in the two temperaments.

A paragraph that describes how others should approach situations with you based on your temperament. How can you advocate for these needs? In other words, give an example of how you can help others to give you support in certain situations based on your temperament.
