4 Personality Styles
Everyone has a distinct personality. Do you understand what kind of personality style your child is developing? And what’s yours? Here is a fun and practical assessment tool offered online for free.
There are basically four personality styles of parents and children. Are you and your child:
1. Lions
Like Amy, a 5-year-old who is strong, determined, forceful and assertive in sharing her thoughts and opinions on almost everything.
2. Otters
Like Bryan, a 7-year-old who loves to talk, loves being on teams or wherever there’s a group, and loves to start things — but rarely finishes them.
Like Rachael, a mom who is caring, compassionate and wants everyone to feel good — but who struggles with Amy’s lionlike strength of character.
4. Beavers
Like Kurt, a dad who likes to finish what he starts, reflect on things before acting, find a place for everything and keep everything in its place — and who is often frustrated with how messy and random and impulsive his “otter” son, Bryan, seems to be.
