Assignment Problem: Can someone explain these questions from their own life perspective:
Temperament. How would you and your family characterize your temperament in infancy? Be specific about what your caregiver(s) observed that leads to that categorization. How did people respond to your temperament? Was your early temperament stable? In other words, did your early temperament correlate with basic personality characteristics later in childhood and adolescence?
Parenting Style. Which parenting style did your parents or primary caregivers rely on? Give several specific examples that clearly illustrate their style(s). If you were exposed to different styles (e.g. if your parents were divorced), describe them. If their style changed at some point during your childhood (e.g. after a move, birth of a sibling, or remarriage), how did it change, and why?
Beliefs, Customs, and Values. Describe how your cultural, ethnic, geographical, or religious background shaped the care giving you received as an infant. What unique customs or traditions were involved during your infancy? Describe any cultural, religious, or holiday rituals/traditions that were especially meaningful in your early environment. Also include any sayings or stories that you heard repeatedly from your caregivers as they tried to pass on their knowledge, values, and customs. In what ways do you think it was different from what you consider to be the "average" American childhood?
