Developmental psychology extra credit - don't understand the question
I read about my extra credit that my developmental psychology professor handed out. But I don't understand what it's asking or what I'm supposed to talk about. Help??
Based on what you know about your own period of infancy, do you think you would have been categorized as a child who was easy, difficult or slow to warm up? and WHY?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
It is slightly more complicated than that:
"Thomas, Chess, Birch, Hertzig and Korn showed that Easy babies readily adapt to new experiences, generally display positive moods and emotions and also have normal eating and sleeping patterns. Difficult babies tend to be very emotional, irritable and fussy, and cry a lot. They also tend to have irregular eating and sleeping patterns. Slow-to-warm-up babies have a low activity level, and tend to withdraw from new situations and people. They are slow to adapt to new experiences, but accept them after repeated exposure."

This is how I interpret it:
As a child, did you give your parents a hard time? Were you always crying about something or were you pleasant and always peaceful?
