Drawing on an ancient tradition, Rudolf Steiner referred to four fundamental 'types' or 'temperaments' in the human personality, each of which, he said, has different personal needs and ways of relating socially. From her experience of working with children of all ages, Marieke Anschutz provides a guide to children's different temperaments and their role in child character, health and personality development. The book includes illustrations from home and school, in the context of the Steiner-Waldorf classroom. The author discusses how these ideas may be used to manage, and relate to, groups and individuals.

Reads more like a research paper than anything practical,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Children and Their Temperaments (Paperback)
It wasn't until the last half of the book that I got anything useful out of the book. The first half is very esoteric. Fine if you're deep into anthroposophy but if you are more interested in the practical applications of temperaments in your home, homeschool, or school, look elsewhere. The first half is mostly history, tracing from the Ancient Greeks to medieval times, while the second half is a little meatier with ways of identifying children's temperaments (remember, the whole point of the book) and ways to diminish or reinforce different aspects of a temperament. I'll be looking elsewhere for more practical aspects.
