AN ANALYSIS TO RAISE A CHILD WITH CHALLENGING TEMPERAMENT
Keywords:
Distinctiveness, Forums, Perception.Abstract
In this research, parents’ understandings of complicated children and their distinctiveness were a matter of great discussion. A unique point of view to the theme was discovered through the various organizations as parenting a challenging and difficult child appeared as a theme that is discussed worldwide in the child skills development forums. In these forums, parents write about their experiences voluntarily and at the same time, they are the ones who define their children as challenging or difficult. In this study, parents’ descriptions were compared with previous definitions and studies on child temperament and behavior. This research was a qualitative research where the interest was in parents’ perceptions of uncommon and complex children. The purpose of the research was to provide further incite and tools for parents of children with challenging temperament.
