Hi there, I'm

Amy Webb, Ph.D.

I write about child development and parenting. I know quite a few facts, but you are the only expert on your child and his/her unique traits and quirks. I can help you find your confidence as a parent, to inform your intuition with research, and perhaps see parenting in a new light.

Why Temperament Matters

Needs

Children with different temperament have different psychological needs. Knowing this can help you adjust your parenting.

Reactions

Based on their temperament, kids may react very differently to different situations. Kids having tantrums or emotional outbursts? Find out why.

Discipline

Kids with different temperaments also vary in their response to discipline strategies. Find out which work best for your child's temperament.
