Question

Jaime works in a daycare setting where she can observe different types of temperament. In her psychology class right now, the topic is temperament according to Chess and Thomas. Jamie cares for Evan who is always in a positive mood and quickly establishes regular routines. She also cares for Isaac who cries a lot, doesn't take to new routines, and is slow to adapt. Jamie thinks that Evan is a(n) ______ child and Isaac is a(n) _____ child.

Answer 1

The answer is easy and difficult, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Chess and Thomas, there are three different types of temperaments: easy, difficult and slow to warm up.

Easy children like Evan adapt quickly to new experiences, and difficult children like Isaac present negative reactions like crying, and have problems engaging in routinary activities. Finally, the "slow to warm up" temperament is a sort of in-between: they present low levels of activity but adapt over time.
