INSIGHTS into Children's Temperament

INSIGHTS into Children's Temperament is an elementary-school-based comprehensive intervention in which parents, teachers, and clinicians are taught to recognize children’s behavioral expressions of temperaments, and to use temperament-based strategies to improve their relationships with children. They are also provided with alternative attentional and behavioral disciplinary strategies to use with children. Throughout the program sessions, teachers and parents are given a framework to appreciate individual differences in children, and develop child-management strategies directed at reducing behavior problems. INSIGHTS also includes a curriculum for grades K–1, in which puppets are used to teach children strategies for regulating their emotions, attention, and behavior in temperamentally challenging situations.
