How Your Personality Shapes Your Child’s Inner World
You don’t need to know anything about the Enneagram to benefit from this book.
At its heart, The Enneagram World of the Child explores how a parent’s personality profoundly influences the development of their child’s sense of self and worldview. To illustrate these dynamics, the book uses the nine Enneagram personality types as a framework, briefly outlining them for easy reference. Think of your parents—was your mother a nurturing helper or a firm disciplinarian? Was your father the playful good ‘ol boy or a reflective thinker? Their personalities shaped your early experiences and, in turn, the person you’ve become. This book invites you to reflect on your patterns and their impact, offering tools to create a healthier, more intentional foundation for your child.
