1. A child's temperament can contribute from biological, psychological, and social perspectives. From a biological perspective, this could be genetic. If mom or dad has any history of temperament issues, it could be passed down the family tree. From a psychological and social perspective, if there is any negative or even positive temperament in the household, this can affect a child, especially at a young age. When a child is surrounded by the same temperament growing up, it causes them to adapt to it and think it is normal. When they grow up and become parents themselves, a lot of the same parenting skills they have seen growing up are what they will also pass along while parenting. So, if they had a negative temperament household, likely they will to while raising a family, And vice versa with a cheerful temperament. 

2.  From a biological perspective, a child's temperament is influenced by genetic factors, nutrition intake, and early brain development. Genes inherited from parents can play a significant role in shaping a child's character. 

 Nutrition is essential for the proper growth and development of the human body. It provides the necessary nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, which are the building blocks for various biological processes. Adequate nutrition is particularly critical for the development of the brain, especially during early childhood. Essential nutrients like iron and vitamins support mental development and optimal brain functioning (Haddad, D., 2020). Malnutrition during critical periods of brain development can have long-term consequences on cognitive abilities and behavior.

  The early development of a child's brain can also impact temperament. Experiences in utero and during the first few years of life can influence brain development and, consequently, a child's behavioral tendencies and emotional regulation (Mitnaul, L., N., D.). Experiences during the prenatal and early postnatal periods can lead to lasting changes in brain structure and function, influencing a child's temperament. For instance, exposure to stress hormones in utero may affect the development of the amygdala, a critical brain region involved in processing emotions and stress responses. 

Psychological influences involve emotional regulation and biological factors. Biological factors, including genetic predispositions and neurobiological differences, can shape a child's temperament. Some children may inherit certain traits from their parents, such as being naturally more introverted, extroverted, emotionally reactive, or easygoing. These genetic factors can influence a child's emotional and behavioral tendencies. 

A child's ability to regulate their emotions is a psychological factor that affects their temperament. Children who struggle with emotional regulation may be more prone to emotional outbursts, anxiety, or mood swings, which can impact their overall temperament (Sousa, M., 2023). 

Last, social factors also play an essential role in how a child's temperament develops. This can evolve from parenting styles and social interactions. The way individuals raise their children significantly impacts a child's character. Different parenting styles, such as authoritative, authoritarian, or permissive, can shape a child's emotional and behavioral responses. For example, a classic and nurturing parenting style may foster a more secure and adaptable temperament.

A child's social interactions are also significant. As children interact with their peers and engage in social activities, they learn how to manage emotions and navigate relationships. Positive peer interactions can contribute to developing social and emotional skills, which, in turn, influence a child's temperament.

A child's emotions and temperament can have a profound impact on their caregivers and parenting dynamics, such as stress, need for professional support, or classes.
