Temperamental Patterns Most babies can be categorized into one of three broad temperamental patterns. An “easy” baby is usually easy to soothe, calm, cheerful, and readily adapts to new situations. “Slow-to-warm-up” babies tend to adapt to new situations and experiences very slowly, but once they adapt, they’re fine. “Difficult” babies are more likely to be emotional, irritable, and fussy. Which category do you think the baby shown here might fit into? Why?
