Every child fits one of these four patterns
Yesterday I told you something important.
Kids don't respond to words.
They respond to communication that matches their wiring.
Today, I want to show you the four temperament patterns that shape how your child thinks, feels, reacts, and learns.
Every child leans toward one of these patterns.
And understanding which one fits your child changes everything.
Here they are.
1. The Dutiful Child
This child needs structure, predictability, and clear expectations.
They thrive when they know the plan.
Their fear is disappointing the people they love.
Their challenges show up when they feel rushed, confused, or unsupported.
2. The Explorer Child
This child is curious, physical, adventurous, and hands-on.
They learn by doing, touching, moving, and testing limits.
Their intention is rarely rebellion.
They are wired to experience the world directly.
3. The Analytical Child
This child asks big questions, thinks ahead, and needs logical explanations.
They want to understand the reasons behind your instructions.
Their shutdowns often come from feeling misunderstood, not defiant.
4. The Sensitive Soul
This child feels deeply, notices everything, and absorbs the emotions in the room.
Tone matters to them.
Connection matters.
Their reactions make perfect sense once you know how tuned-in they are.
When parents understand which temperament their child has, they stop taking behavior personally.
They stop guessing.
They stop assuming their child is acting out.
They start seeing the pattern behind the behavior.
Parents often tell me, “I wish I knew this sooner. It would've saved us years of frustration.”
Tomorrow, I’m going to show you something that surprises most parents.
Your child’s temperament is only half the equation.
Your own temperament plays a major role in every conflict, every communication breakdown, and every moment of connection.
Talk to you soon,
