Q Write a discussion board post. First, take and post a picture of a physical artifact from your own infancy or toddlerhood. Examples might include a baby picture, a toy that has special meaning, or a transitional object. If you are unable to include a picture, you may descriptively write out a memory you have. Discuss how your artifact links with your temperament: Easy Child, Difficult Child, or a Slow-to-Warm-Up Child. You may want to ask a parent or caregiver what kind of temperament you had in infancy and toddlerhood. Next, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your childhood temperament. For example, who gets held more often, an “easy” or a “difficult baby”? Do parents learn to be more precise and slower-paced with “slow-to-warm-up” babies, or do such babies produce hesitant and less secure parents? Which baby is most likely to be ignored?
