Children From page 49
Parents who analyze and think Thinkers truly value talking and sharing with their children. From the time their child enters the world, analyzing parents answer all questions and explain events. They are patient in instructing their children in life’s how-tos. They might want their children to be experts on a topic or class assignment, making them dig deeper than is needed. Thinkers like perfection. Will their children measure up? The analyzing parent’s challenge is to honor their intuitive child’s learning style, which is experiential. Can analyzing parents shift from thinking to empathizing? Show them; don’t tell them about it.
