Week 6 · Level 1 · Session #6
Nurture the Child
Every child needs a different kind of attention. Build a profile for each one and parent to it.
Intention
I meet each child where they actually are.
This week's practices
- — Create a profile per child: temperament, fuel, friction.
- — Give each child ten undivided minutes daily.
- — Match one guidance tip to one real situation.
Child profile creator & guidance tips
Child profile creator
Guidance tips
Match the tip to the child in front of you.
The sensitive child
Lower your volume before you raise your expectations. They hear tone before words.
The strong-willed child
Offer two acceptable choices. Give them authorship inside your boundary.
The quiet observer
Ask questions side by side — in the car, on a walk — never across a table.
The performer
Praise effort and specifics, not talent, or approval becomes their oxygen.
The anxious planner
Preview what's coming. Certainty calms them more than reassurance does.
