    Thanks for the reminder! I did the flylady program for a while and still do somewhat. She had a saying “if it’s fun, it will get done!” We all need to keep our work fresh and alive. Games make it that way. I think these games would work for every child and adult. Those are great ideas! I need more type 1s in my life to help me think of ideas! I’m a type 3 and that is a challenge for me. I tend to get stuck in a rut!

    Thanks again for this valuable, free, awesome information on your blog!
    you’re the best!

    At what age can you really tell what type your children are. I think I know my older children’s types but the younger ones that are under 4 are harder to tell.

      It is important to read my book “It’s Just My Nature!” to understand the “movement” of each Type, then you start to notice these natural movements in your children. Children are easy when you understand the Types this way. We have “Typed” babies as young as a few weeks old, even how they nurse and sleeping tendencies show the movements.

    This was a timely blog. In a recent women’s group meeting one of the mom’s asked other moms to share how they get their children to enjoy work. There were many suggestions, but based upon my “Just My Nature” training, I suggested that each child is motivated differently. I shared about my 16 year old son who has to have “fun” with what he is assigned or else he is completely unmotivated. (He’s definitely a Type 1 and has a secondary 4.) He loves me to give him a list, not set a time limit so he can be spontaneous in how he schedules his duties, and he loves to have fun music playing or making a game out of his work. I give him the latitude to do things in his own way, as long as he gets them done. (And I understand that he needs help paying more attention to details, unlike his Type 2 sister.)

    He likes to know that we’ve planned something fun in the day and not just chores. Knowing he will get time for some family fun after the jobs are done is very motivating.

    I’m excited for the parenting book based upon energy profiling that I know will be forthcoming…

    Are there any photos in your book and the colourcharts?? I really hope so because it is easier to recognise my type, even though i believe i am a type 1. Please check out my website, and let me know. That would be great! The first photo is me, painted green! ;-)
    What if I am really attachted to my silver jewelry and they are really important to me??? I don’t want them to get gilded.

    BTW, finally just my nature can be ordered via Bol.com. Amazing, a few months ago none of your books were on there ;-)

    Thank you so much for this video!! I have just been so frustrated with my 4-year-old son who is so smart but has a hard time staying on task! This is just what I needed to hear.
