Are you a strict parent or a liberal one? Have you ever felt lost and unsure of how to parent? Whether you're just starting out on your journey to becoming a better parent, or you're a parent who wants to reinvent your parenting style but struggles to find the right path, the wisdom of the Enneagram can be of great help.
Parents are always worried that their children will stray from the right path, so they often force their own unique tendencies on their children.
But now parents must learn how to encourage their children to follow their own paths, using their own unique characteristics.
There was a dominant tendency to think that a child's personality was created by the parents rather than being expressed within the child.
Of course, it is true that culture and family environment play an important role in shaping personality.
However, it is now being discovered that traits such as extroversion or introversion, sensitivity or dullness, adventurousness or timidity are strongly innate.

The Enneagram is a wisdom that many people have long used to understand themselves and others.
This is a theory that has been applied primarily to adults, but it can also be applied, with great caution, to children.
For example, the Enneagram can show us how to treat a tough, strong child who wants to conquer the world differently from a sensitive child with a delicate artistic sensibility.
In fact, many people don't realize that there is only one right way to raise a child, and that there can be many different paths depending on the child's individuality.

The Enneagram recognizes each individual's uniqueness and divides personality into nine types, showing at a glance how each tendency differs and how it is related to one another.
Through the Enneagram, people come to understand each other more broadly, and as a result, they develop greater empathy.

Elizabeth Wagely explains the Enneagram in a clear and engaging way that's easy to understand and fun. Her fun, simple illustrations effectively illustrate the nine personality types, helping you become a better parent.
In this book, she covers nine different styles of children's minds and the common problems they address, including learning attitudes, school attendance, sleeping habits, eating habits, and making friends.
Her effective and positive advice leads into twelve other general topics.
Also, the nine parental tendencies are enough to arouse your awareness and interest.
“Understanding Your Child’s Inner Mind Through the Enneagram” will help you understand your child’s unique personality so you can raise them more effectively and creatively.
