Day 1: Connecting with Your Kid’s Personality
I know my kids pretty well. I know that Kimberly could spend all day watching Gilmore girls while Justen would rather die than see one episode. I know that both of my kids are into Steampunk (which, when it comes to literary genres is about as far as you can get from me and my women’s fiction). I know that Justen has an affinity for numbers (the kid can remember my car’s license number off the top of his head) and I know that for some reason unbeknownst to me, both of my kids have a soft spot for our mean, cranky cat Zorro who no one else seems to like.
But, I don’t know anything about your kids. I don’t know what makes them literally squeal with excitement. What quirks they have. Or what they’d do tonight if they were given $20, ten gallons of gas and a chauffeur to drive them anywhere they wanted.
And, you’re probably wondering how I can help you to connect with your kids if I don’t know them.
I thought of that, too, and I have a plan. My friend and personality expert, Cheri Gregory has created a simple questionnaire that will help you to determine your kid’s personality type.
So, to get started, answer the questions below about your child on this simple quiz at: Discover Your Child’s Personality Type
Noah is 6. He is expressive and amiable. My son takes medication for ADD. Certain crafts my friends talk about just do not reach my son. Having the tips for each personality type is awesome.
Do you have any posts or tips for those who are VERY different than their child’s type?? My 9 yr old is expressive…and I definitely am not–and it’s hard 🙁
I have 4 kids ages 5-17.
My oldest one is Aimiable
One of my 11 year olds is Expressive and Aimiable
The other 11 year old (yes twins 🙂 ) is Aimiable
and the 5 year old is Expressive.
Both of my kids ages 9.5 and 2.5 (answering to my best) are expressive, and I could completely agree.
Garren is amiable and Gavin is Expressive. Grayson is still too little to tell 😉
