Abstract
The Toddler Temperament Scale was completed by mothers of 37 Down''s syndrome children. Questionnaires were also completed for 13 siblings. Comparisons with standardization scores on the difficult dimensions suggested that the Down''s syndrome children were more rhythmic, less intense and of more positive mood than children of the same CA. In additon, they were less withdrawn and more adaptable than children of similar MA. The siblings were more rhythmic than the standardization sample and more persistent than the Down''s syndrome children. There was no trend for Down''s syndrome ratings to be strongly associated with own-sibling ratings.Keywords
