Which of the 4 temperaments is your child?
Waldorf education recognises four distinct temperament types. Most children are a blend — but one usually leads.
Choleric
Bold, decisive, and full of fire. The natural leader who thrives on challenge and gets things done.
Sanguine
Playful, creative, and social. The child who lights up every room and makes friends effortlessly.
Phlegmatic
Calm, steady, and deeply loyal. The peacemaker who brings harmony wherever they go.

Sensitive, thoughtful, and deeply perceptive. The child who notices everything and feels it deeply.
