I think the temperament of children stays the same across their infancy as it plays a crucial role in the development of the personality. Temperament is an intrinsic feature that becomes apparent shortly after birth. Each child is unique, as is their temperament, and this is the period when they are more likely to establish trust and want constant assistance and attention from caregivers. The environment has a significant impact on a child's temperament, and the newborn begins to form a bond with the caregiver. Based on Chess and Thomas, children differ in nine temperament aspects, including activity level, consistency, sensitivity thresholds, mood, distractibility, and perseverance (Santrock, 2019).
