The Enneagram is a model of personality that describes nine worldviews or strategies — nine intelligences. Fully accounting for individual differences, the E-model allows for an infinite variety of individual expression within its nine strategies. The model is based on nine patterns of thoughts, feelings, motivations, and perceptions. Each encompasses a distinctive way of perceiving the world. No E-strategy is better than any other; they are all equally valid. Discover your parenting personality type.

I look forward to showing you how to use this vision to achieve your parenting goals. Let’s look at what some of those goals might be.

• Establish strong connections with your child
• Change self-defeating behavior patterns
• Deepen communication with your child
• Reduce stress
• Gain new self-awareness
• Identify your gifts, enhance relationships
• Become a facilitator, help support the flowering of your child’s personality

This material is powerful, and there is great potency in understanding your personality. This material provides the tools not only to understand your motivational patterns, but the patterns of behavior of other people. I believe this understanding gives us great responsibility. We can learn all we want about ourselves, but let others takes the same journey for themselves. It is almost impossible once you have this material in your hands not to try to type those closest to you, but don’t tell them what you suspect. Let that moment of discovery belong to them, as yours did to you.

Enjoy your journey! I look forward to hearing your comments.
