Whew, what a difference a month makes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type/page/2#post-1956776 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 13:49:10 +0000 Grace 1956776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easy with a touch of shy. I'm so happy - she was not an easy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type/page/2#post-1956735 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 12:53:12 +0000 shopaholic 1956735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happily Spirited! I would say 100% Spirited, but she's not too rigid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type/page/2#post-1956729 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 12:45:28 +0000 NurseDMB 1956729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is only 16 months and I can already tell with 100% certainty that he's spirited.</p> <p>He seriously has every trait that they list under spirited toddler/kids - sensitive, intense, tantrums, impatient, very active, strong willed. But he's also very smart, funny, outgoing, and curious. Love him more than anything, but he can be exhausting and a handful! </p> <p>Luckily he's always been a good sleeper, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type/page/2#post-1883873 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:11:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 1883873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spirited, no doubt about it. This is the word my mom has used to describe her to all her friends ;) She's a lover but oh boy if she doesn't' get her way watch out and the word "no" is not in her vocabulary, its tough at times but I can't imagine her any other way. She was an easy baby. I always tell DH that this next baby better be a easy going hippy to balance the two out ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883863 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:05:01 +0000 BandDmommy 1883863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: B is the same way, but if you understand his needs you can keep him calm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883783 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:22:27 +0000 bushelandapeck 1883783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: DS has always had a spirited (ie: difficult) temperament. practically since birth. He was an intense, hard to soothe baby and we have had more than one family member tell us that he would be too hard for them to watch, or that we should start spanking him (my FIL). It's so hard because we know it's just his personality/temperament and that there are ways to keep him happy and relatively calm, but other people still don't understand why he doesn't listen right away, or why he becomes physical when he's frustrated, upset, overstimulated, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883769 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:16:44 +0000 BandDmommy 1883769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: same here! I think a lot of it might be age as well! :). A lot of the people saying spirited have 2 year olds, while a lot of people saying easy have younger children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883744 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 06:54:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 1883744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spirited...and then more spirited. We make a point of getting him out of the house to do something physical every morning and every afternoon...no matter what. There is just no way to keep him happy in a contained space unless he can run around and use up his energy. The rainy days when we aren't able to do as much are by far the hardest. I don't think he tantrums more often than other children though, and he's a super happy kid if you can keep him busy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883718 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 06:25:30 +0000 ValentineMommy 1883718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easy, with a touch of shy. He's a little clingy in new situations and around strangers, but warms up quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883700 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 05:42:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1883700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang, she's all 3. She's generally cheerful and ready for a new day, she says bye to everyone and everything, but takes her time doing what she wants when she wants. Yet she's really sensitive with temperature and the feel of clothing. She's also kind of shy around other kids. She's very strong-willed and active. She doesn't walk, she hops, she's showing signs of good athletic ability (she's great with a ball, for instance), she's definitely getting enrolled in gymnastics as soon as she turns 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883668 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 01:47:06 +0000 anonysquire 1883668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is pure insane an option? I'm biased but I feel like Zuma has about 13 personalities. She's hilarious and shy and sassy and a faker and demanding and silly and feisty and naughty all in one. She's constantly trying to get people to look at her and making all sorts of weird faces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883662 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 01:21:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1883662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: let's play matchmaker at our next play date! :silly: I don't know if you want him influencing her though! Now that I think about it maybe he's 75% spirited/25% easy! I thought easy babies turned into easy toddlers. What happened here! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883652 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 00:14:30 +0000 autumnlove 1883652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: maybe there is a &lt;3 connection between our LO 2s! </p> <p>She was easy....lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883632 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 23:14:37 +0000 skibobrown 1883632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is all 3! Maybe 50% easy, 40% spirited, and 10% shy?<br /> She has the super emotional highs and lows... but she is way more high than low. She can be a bit of a wild child in situations where she is comfortable. But in situations that are new and/or uncomfortable she turns super shy. The shy part is usually only short-lived though, which is why I only gave that one a 10%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883621 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 22:47:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1883621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say 70% easy and 30% spirited for W. She doesn't tantrum often (knock on wood) and is Very people-focused, but can definitely be very defiant and bossy.</p> <p>100% easy for M. She is sooooo friendly, so easy to put down, smiles at everyone, plays well by herself, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883616 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 22:41:43 +0000 StbHisMrs 1883616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: HaHaHa "Get off the fridge"! </p> <p>All three of mine are spirited, so so spirited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883612 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 22:28:35 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1883612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 - Shy, the description fits her to a tee.<br /> #2 - He WAS an easy baby, but these days he's 50/50 easy/spirited. His emotions are all over the place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883582 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 21:51:05 +0000 fancyfunction 1883582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say she's mainly easy but also a bit shy since she can be cautious and an observer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883324 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:27:00 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1883324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's easy, probably 90% of the time. The remainder, she's spirited haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883309 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:19:33 +0000 yellowbird 1883309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% spirited. I'm exhausted....ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883294 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:03:17 +0000 NovBaby1112 1883294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id say 75% spirited and 25% easy, if that's at all possible , seeing as how they are polar opposites. LO is very strong willed, independent, stubborn, challenging, and active, but it's not 24-7. She has her easy going chill moments too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883279 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:50:11 +0000 kakimochi 1883279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is a good one, love personality tests. My 4YO is SHY, the description fits her to a tee...waves after someone leaves, loves to just observe and not actually try it, very sensitive, and just needs time to process things around her. </p> <p>My 2YO is easy with a small dose of spirited, she greets anyone, is happy go lucky, eats anything and everything, will happily zip down a slide and laugh all the way down while her 4YO big sister is still standing at the top with complete trepidation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883270 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:38:10 +0000 shopaholic 1883270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @Ra: hahahah!</p> <p>Spirited with a capital S! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883269 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:37:09 +0000 mrskc 1883269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easy with a little shyness. He is shy around strangers but warms up quickly. He has his moments but he's overall an easy going kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883225 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:47:44 +0000 BandDmommy 1883225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spirited. No question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883219 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:42:40 +0000 loveisstrange 1883219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id say 60% easy and 40% spirited. Shes pretty easy but she does have definite headstrong daredevil streak. She always does better when she can run a lot and burn off energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883197 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:23:30 +0000 Ra 1883197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spirited. So very spirited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-personality-type#post-1883187 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:15:00 +0000 Tidybee 1883187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 90% shy and 10% easy. She was an early walker and talker, but she is certainly observant in a lot of situations. She doesn't demand much though and easily entertains herself, especially in large settings with other kids.<br /> ETA: DD actually does worse when there is a lot of transition time. She doesn't mind going from one thing to the other at all. </p>
