Doer Parents These high achievers get things done without much discussion. They are strong role models of leadership for their children. They also model fearlessness and risk- taking.
They expect kids to know how to do something without explaining it, and then wonder why their kids disappoint them. Not always sensitive to feelings of family members, especially children, they might overlook the small achievements, the creative process or the daily report of school events. They might push kids too hard toward challenges and independence before they are ready.
Strengths of parents who do
Children who have intuitive episodes like dreams or a flash of precognition are like highly sensitive radars when it comes energy awareness.
Connection is the key! As parents, the task is to understand our children’s core temperaments—how they think, learn and interact with their environment. We don’t expect the child with intuitive intelligence to conform to our styles. If they don’t understand what we say or respond the way we want, then we disconnect. Our goal is to connect, to honor how they learn and process information.
Guide an intuitive child in experiential ways through demonstration.
Give an intuitive child the authority in situations to learn to deal with responsibility.
Model persistence for a child by sticking with the child to the end of a project or through a fearful situation.
Invite participation in a project with set times for specific tasks.
Harmonizing Parents Harmonizers or peacemakers like being close to their children and often claim that their children

share most everything with them, even their secrets. They are honest and expect honesty. They acknowledge their children and honor their achievements, hurts, awards, and disappointments. They model how to value relationships and cooperation. The harmonizer is not always comfortable with arguing children, blasting music from their teen’s room, back talk, rudeness or interruptions while working or focused. The disruptions of household harmony, which triggers instability or dishonesty, are challenges for this parent.
Gifts of parents who harmonize
Teach your intuitive child how to be centered.
Offer nature walks as a way to develop good feelings.
Help your child be consistent by setting goals and celebrating accomplishments.
Use touch as a powerful bonding tool.
Bring your child back to the present when she’s worried or he’s upset with a gentle reminder, “Be here, now with me.” You are here. Be present.”
