The role of child temperament on low ‐income preschool children's relationships with their parents and teachers

This study examined the association between children's temperament and their relationships with parents and teachers. Reactive temperament was positively associated with parent/teacher–child conflict and negatively associated with parent–child closeness. Regulatory temperament was a moderator for the association between reactive temperament and teacher–child closeness. Improving children's regulatory temperament may be helpful for children with the reactive temperament to have better social relationships with their teachers.
