Differences in temperament affect how children get along in school. It is especially important to recognize individual differences in temperament when a child has learning or attention deficit issues.
Clinicians have identified several dimensions of temperament that are directly relevant to the interactions between students and teachers.
Sensory threshold
Activity level
Intensity
Adaptability
Mood
Approach/Withdrawal
Persistence
