Why Temperament Matters: Guidance Strategies for Young Children addresses early childhood behavior guidance strategies related to children’s specific temperament traits. There are nine temperament traits that influence a child’s behavior: Activity Level, Distractibility, Persistence, Adaptability, Approach/Withdrawal, Intensity, Regularity, Sensory Awareness, Mood. All nine temperament traits are grouped into three major categories of personality: easy/flexible, feisty/spirited, and slow-to-warm-up/sensitive. This book provides specific ideas about how a child care provider can adjust the early childhood program and environment to meet the individual needs of each child’s temperament. There is a specific emphasis on children who fall into the feisty/spirited or the slow-to-warm-up/sensitive categories because they are often the ones who are expelled with challenging behaviors. Why Temperament Matters explains where challenging behaviors may originate in temperament and provides strategies for meeting temperament needs that prevent or lessen challenging behaviors.

There are many versions of the story we know as "Cinderella" and each version is almost the same. But who exactly was this character based upon? I was extremely curious so I decided to do a little bit of research. Ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology spoke of a woman only known as Rhodopis or "Rosy Cheeks". This young woman was kidnapped from her home and sold in Egypt as a slave where she was given this name. Since there was no factual record of her birth name, we will call her Cindy. There was one thing that remained consistent in all the stories that I read of her life...the similarities of her life compared to Cinderella's life was there but not quite what we know as Disney friendly. As a young girl, Cindy had to learn to be strong and also learned that life is no game. She was raised by an old man who took her in after pirates raided her village. Later in life was then, too, a victim to the pirates, but not before she was given a special pair of shoes. Once sold to her master as a slave, she found comfort in knowing there was a possibility her mother was not far from where she was sold. The biggest problems were the three other slaves living with her. They forced her to do there chores and more. They were jealous of the way their master treated her compared to them. Her only friends were the animals. After her escape, she loses a shoe when a large bird swoops down and takes it, later dropping it into the lap of the lands most fairest bachelor. Follow Cindy as she finds out what magical opportunities lie ahead in finding out who she is and what she will become. Find out just how the slippers play such a huge role in the story we all knew as "Cinderella". If you like dragons, magic and history then this is the book for you. There is a little bit of everything. Maybe even a little "Game of Throne"-ish.
