    Okay, I am I type 1. I am sure my husband and second son are type 4. My son is the reason I looked into energy work.
    I would like some insight if I may… What do I do about hitting. I would like to know how to help him see that hurting people isn’t okay. He will start out being careful and then just turns mean. Pinching or squeezing someone’s arm, etc. When he was 2 he punched his cousin in the stomach because she was in his house. (He isn’t very big himself, infact he’s small for his age, BUT he is an authority)
    I have figured out how to handle his blunt words, that’s easy but hitting – I don’t know how to guide him toward a different outcome… How can I help him come to a decission of hitting isn’t okay…
    Time out does noooot work, spanking him back of course isn’t okay, that makes him more mad (unfortuately I have fallen into that in frustration), talking/reasoning isn’t working either (he’s almost 5)
    The only thing that worked a few times was “Are you taking care of your brother?” He looked at me shocked but then after a week was back at it again.
    I am SOOOOO ready for your REAL parenting book to come out… maybe that is what you should call it.

    Thank you for your work

    I am a Type 4 and I have an 11 year old son whom I believe is a Type 4 also. I was getting alot of attitude from him about EVERYTHING, and I was trying to figure out why. He never has problems with authority anywhere except for at home. Then I remembered that Type 4s will easily follow someone else’s rules, if they respect the source. At first I was a little sad to think that he didn’t have that kind of respect for me, but I realized that I probably wasn’t showing that kind of respect for him, either. I made a few small adjustments to the way I was treating him, and the results have been very positive and immediate. Thank you for your valuable insights!!

    Carol, this is so dead-on how we have learned to truly enjoy our precious type 4/1 child! He must have the warnings for any transitions and the eye to eye is so crucial.
    This info would have helped so much while he was an infant, but we came by it some of it with How To Raise Your Highly Spirited Child by Mary Kurcinka and it helped so much. This information from you on energy profiling, however, gives the complete information to truly embrace and treasure his great strengths as a type 4 person and thank you SO MUCH.

    Love this video clip and the reminders for eye-to-eye, which he just expressed to me a couple of days ago, asking me to stop and look at him when he talks (we were in a busy store). Your video above will help others so much and I appreciate it and YOU.

    I appreciate how direct and to the point this video is. As a type 4 I want to get down to the “what to do” part.
    thanks for the insight.
