I am joined by my Type 2 daughter Anne in this 4-part series, in this second video, we talk about Type 2 children who are very thoughtful and caring and have a strong desire to please. They also can worry and fret and put things off. Let us help you tap in to their caring, sensitive nature by parenting them true to their nature! What Type is your child?

I’m a T2/1 and I NEVER did my homework. After listening to this, maybe it’s because I didn’t get enough reward/acknowlegement–so there was no motivation. I was smart and got good grades on tests and saw no reason for homework.
I am nearly 50 and still don’t have a plan for my life. The plans I had never came to fruition even though many other great things have happened.
My big problem in my life is that I find I am always working late while everyone else is off playing, because I am not goal oriented. I set goals, but never achieve them because it’s not fun.
I just enjoy the journey. I play and meander along the way. This doesn’t serve me in the long run because eventually, I find the rest of the world has moved on to play and I am still stuck doing chores (as a child) or working(as an adult).
I don’t know how to get past this. I want to learn how to live my 2ness better so I can be more productive and happier. Do those things really go together or is that my T3/4 mother speaking?
I just want to have fun, learn new stuff, connect with people, enjoy life and have time to “be still”.

It’s so cute because even my three year old type 2 son talks to me before going to sleep about what the plan is going to be the next day, and then he’ll say, “Is that a good plan, mommy?” This is something that I do as a type 2 to my husband every night before going to sleep also; just to make sure we all know the plan.

That was great, Anne and Carol. I’m a 2/1 raised in a family that valued straight A’s over individual well-being. My ability to perform to external standards was expected, but not celebrated, rewarded, or personally satisfying. Perhaps it’s that I did not feel encouraged or paid attention to while I was busy achieving under stress. I still find it difficult to give myself credit for what I’ve done in my life, instead judging it all as lacking from some impossible external standard. Guess it’s time to give myself that encouragement along the way and focus on the internal sense of accomplishment.

I really enjoy getting more insight into my children! With five kids, I am blessed to have at least one of each type. I am a Type 3, and this also really helps me with my Type 2 husband, who has always needed the extra encouragement and support in getting his “homework” done, which I always thought was ridiculous until now. How Type 3 of me!

I have a Type 2/1 son and this is so helpful. I can see his face brighten up when I encourage him. His snack time is important. He loves plans and sticking to the plan.

I so appreciate this video b/n both Carol and your T2daughter. It helps to watch each of your types play out.I am a 2/1and so is my daughter. She is doing so much better now that she is in college and has devised her own plan and schedule for studying. I have always recognized and provided her need for a yummy snack. Thank you for the heads up on her needing the social piece. I grew up in a large family so there were always plenty of people around.
In today’s smaller family structure, I see the need for study buddies from outside the family! Thank you!
