Focus on What Matters Most
Parenting often feels overwhelming. Between emotional moments and everyday routines, losing sight of what’s essential is easy. But what if we simplified?
The Enneagram World of the Child reminds us that the key to understanding our children lies in focusing on the foundational forces shaping their personality—not managing every detail.
What Truly Matters
When your child acts out, ask:
- What is the simplest explanation for their behavior?
- What core need or emotion is asking to be seen?
This shift helps us parent with clarity, meeting their needs in the moment without adding unnecessary stress.
Example from the Book:
Imagine your child hesitating before joining a new activity. Instead of labeling this as “shyness,” consider:
- Do they need encouragement or just your calm presence?
- Are they seeking safety in an unfamiliar situation?
By focusing on the root cause, you help them build resilience and confidence without complicating the moment.
The Enneagram World of the Child offers insights to help parents cut through the noise of daily challenges, focusing on what truly matters for emotional growth and connection.
