Educational Meeting: Temperament Traits @ First United Methodist Church7:00 pm – 8:15 pm
Educational Meeting: TEMPERAMENT TRAITS - We all have them, why not understand them?
Featuring
Julie Swanson
Join us while we explore temperament traits and the role they play in positive/negative family dynamics. We’ll discuss nine temperament traits and fill out a temperament tool/continuum regarding your own family members. Discover how your immediate family or your family of origin express their ‘hard wired’ temperament. You’ll learn about how the “goodness of fit” between family members positively influences relationships, as well as what to do when there is a mismatch of traits. Understanding the role of temperament in family dynamics is enlightening and a good foundation for improving all relationships.
