According to psychiatrists Alexander Chess and Stella Thomas, the type of temperament that Josh has is difficult.
Difficult temperament refers to children who are almost impossible to cooperate with because of their unwillingness to adapt. They don't like changes, like Josh didn't like staying at the preschool alone, and choosing not to play with new children he did not know.
