Leader's Guide
Temperament Talk, A Guide to Helping Families with Challenging
Children provides information about using the Parent's Worktext Temperament
Talk, A Guide to Understanding Your Child in individualized and/or group settings.
The information contained in the Leader's Guide includes: a copy of the parent's worktext,
introductory material, guidelines for meetings with the parents, information on technical
assistance and trainings available. At the back of the Leader's Guide, there is a
supplemental section called "Implementing a Temperament Program at Your
Organization." It is NOT necessary to implement a program in order to use
Temperament Talk successfully with parents. Temperament Talk materials lend themselves
easily to a variety of uses.
In addition, there are two sets of sample forms included in the
Leader's Guide for reproduction. The first set, Sample Forms A, can be used with the
parent's worktext, and reference is made to them throughout the guidelines. Additional
forms may be found in Sample Forms B, which can be adapted to the needs of the
facilitator.
The Leader's Guide pages are numbered consecutively, LG-1, LG-2,
LG-3, and so on, throughout the edition. The Parent's Worktext pages in the edition are numbered exactly as they are in the parent's edition, for ease in working through the
worktext with the participants.
Guidelines for the meetings are inserted just before each section of
the Parent's Worktext materials. These guidelines consist of :
- "Dear
Diane" letters, addressed to a hypothetical new user,
which are narrative account s of tips for leading each meeting, and
- "Class
Agenda", which are suggested outlines of each meeting.
