What is normal behavior in children? The answer to this question depends on the child's age, personality, and physical and emotional development. At times a child's behavior may be a problem if it doesn't match the expectations of the adult or if it is disruptive. How we define normal or "good" behavior is usually determined by whether it's socially, culturally and developmentally appropriate. Knowing what to expect from your child at each age will help you decide whether his or her behavior is normal.

A Temperament profile allows you the opportunity to learn more about your children and why they react to the world the way they do. This understanding promotes insights to children’s behaviors. This insight can assist the adult in designing a proactive parenting or caregiving plan that encourages appropriate child behavior.
