How to parent THE PEACEMAKER

The Courageous Mumma ·

2023/01/24

Do you have an easy going child who is kind and happy to share, but sometimes gives in to those around them? This week I'm looking at the Enneagram type 9: The Peacemaker. They're kind, non judgemental, happy to please and to step aside for others - a little too much at times. Peacemakers and are easy to be around. They go with the flow.

Here is a really clear and concise way to check that you're meeting their need for healthy attachment. For the book, pop here To enquire about

Why kids get defensive?

The Courageous Mumma ·

2021/11/16

Our children are defensive and argumentative when they feel they're in the wrong. Why? Because often, being wrong is not acceptable at home. It equals failure, shame, embarrassment; they liken going wrong to being wrong. Parents can then get into an unhealthy loop of backing down and letting the child win - for a quiet life. But what consequences does that have for the child's self esteem later in life? For more on boundaries, come and get your copy of Parenting For Life here To check out the Blog,
