before you take action.
You can develop your own relationships, interests and causes.
You can learn about sex and be responsible for your needs, feelings, and behaviors.
Child Whisperer Tips to support this stage: Being with their friends takes on a priority at this stage of life—and at times, parents and siblings may feel offended that a Type 1 would rather be with friends than family. Choosing friends over family will not happen if a Type 1 is supported and honored for living their true nature in the home.
The main reason a Type 1 teenager wants to be with friends over family is they are supported and appreciated for their fun-loving nature by their friends and they may feel compromised in being able to be their true selves in their home. If this is true for your child, you can turn this around so your Type 1 teenager feels their fun-loving nature is welcomed and appreciated in their own home.
It’s Never Too Late!
Please note that even if your Type 1 child has grown past any of these stages, it is never too late to validate and meet their emotional needs.
Right now, we are all every age we have ever been. If we have unmet emotional needs, we carry them with us into the next stage of our lives. If you have a Type 1 16-year-old daughter, it’s not too late to validate and affirm all the previous stages of her development. For that matter, if your son is a Type 1 40-year-old, it’s not too late for him, either! And if you are a Type 1 parent yourself, I hope this section has helped you recognize and heal some of your own inner child’s unmet needs to help you feel much happier now, too!
Most of my work in the field of Energy Psychology helps adults heal their inner child’s unmet needs. What a gift it is when a parent shows up and meets the needs of an older child once and for all! Like I said, it’s never too late to become a better parent!
The Child Whisperer’s Top 10 Things
A Type 1 Child Needs From You!
In summary, this short list includes some of the most important things to remember when parenting a Type 1 fun-loving child. This general list will be supportive to all Type 1 children. After reading this section, please add your own inspirations to this list. I aim to initiate your Child Whisperer gifts as a parent. As a Child Whisperer, you will receive your own inspirations and aha’s, specific to your Type 1 child. Write them down!
1. Happiness
Your Type 1 child wants and needs you to be happy as often as possible. You will certainly experience stress and down days, but make sure you reassure your Type 1 child that he or she is not responsible for your happiness. Make an effort to be happy in spite of your challenges. Your Type 1 child will certainly try to help you smile a lot more about life.
2. Freedom
Type 1 children need the freedom to move, to create, to explore, to interact and to adapt. Too much structure boxes them in and represses their true nature.
3. Praise for their ideas and creativity
Remember, you don’t have to make sure your Type 1 child follows through on every idea they come up with, but help them learn to follow through on the ones they feel are most important to them.
4. Encouragement to live true to who they are
Since it is so easy for Type 1s to adapt to family and friends, make sure to support them in checking in with themselves to see if they are living true to themselves.
5. Change
Type 1 children grow tired of things being the same. Give them the chance to change things up in their life—like their room, their hairstyle, their toys, or friends. Respect them when they change their mind on things.
6. Time to have fun together and let your hair down!
Schedule regular times to have fun with your Type 1 child. Even to this day, I make sure I have fun with my adult Type 1 children.
7. Laughter
What brings laughter to your family? Funny movies, YouTube videos, jokes and stories, reminiscing about funny memories? Engage your Type 1 child in sharing
