As parents, we all want to have a positive and fulfilling relationship with our children.

But what happens when that is not our reality?

The Parenting Blueprint™ is a powerful method that can help us achieve the relationships we desire by utilizing the understanding of personality styles as the foundation on which to build our relationship with our children.

Using The Parenting Blueprint™ personality assessments, we can see that every child and every parent has a different personality, and recognizing these differences can help parents tailor their parenting approach to meet their child's individual needs.

The first step in the Parenting Blueprint™ is for parents to become "Aware" of their own parenting/personality. We need to identify our strengths and weaknesses, as well as our triggers and blind spots. This is crucial because self-awareness is key to effective parenting. By understanding our own emotions and tendencies, we can regulate our responses to our child's needs and avoid reacting in harmful ways.

Then we need to become "Aware" of our child's personality. This involves observing their behaviors, emotions, and reactions to different situations. Communication is also essential in gaining insight into our child's unique personality. By understanding our child's individual needs, strengths, and weaknesses, we can develop a parenting approach that is tailored to their personality. We will use personalized personality assessments or Discovery Reports

The next step is to "Adapt" our interactions with our child based on their personality. This means recognizing that every child is different and we need to “Adapt” our parenting approach to meet their internal emotional needs. For example, if our child is introverted and sensitive, they may need more quiet time and gentle encouragement to express themselves. If they are outgoing and energetic, they may need more opportunities for physical activity and social interaction.

Finally, we "Apply" the right strategies to “parent by design”. This involves using a combination of strategies:

• Affirmations

• Active listening

• Empathy

• Effective Discipline

• Setting boundaries

• Consistency

• Modeling

• Communication and Collaboration
