Sending your kids to a high-end school for studies or giving them a top-class atmosphere is not enough. Every child is different with different interests. Some are naughty while others are lost in their own world without talking much with people around.
In this day and age, it becomes very important for you to figure out the kind of personality your child has so that you can mould them in a way that is required.
Here is how you can find out about your child’s personality type.

If your child makes friends within few minutes at a new place or attracts people around by cracking numerous jokes, he has a sanguine personality. Optimistic children always seem very energetic and entertaining. They can be awake till 2 am in the night even if they have school next morning. Having this kind of personality also makes your kid have his ups and downs.

Choleric temperament is not very difficult to find out from the kid’s behaviour. These types of toddlers have strong reactions to the negative things. If somebody hurts their feelings, they keep it in their head for a long time. They can be great leaders, as they always know what they are talking about.

It's not as if they don’t like celebrations or parties but its just that it doesn’t make them feel happy if a close relative comes into their life nor make them feel sad if the same person goes out forever. A strong metabolic system in phlegmatic child makes him digest anything from a cup of tea of knowledge.
