Parenting and Family Dynamics

CupcakeHolder • 6/19/2024 4:16:14 PM

I'm a Type 3 struggling to find balance between my career and being present for my family. It's all about achieving excellence at work, but I'm worried it's coming at the cost of deeper connections with my partner and kids. 🏅 I often feel torn when choosing between attending an important meeting or going to a school event. Any Type 9s who could help me with sustaining harmony? How do you realign when you feel driven constantly by goals but low on grounding influences at home? Advice welcome from all types!

Getting curious about how different Enneagram types navigate parenting and family dynamics 🌐. Any parents in the forum noticed distinct differences in their approach based on their type? For example, are Type 1s more structured, or do Type 9s adapt a more laid-back style at home? How about when you add kids with their own specific types into the mix—any tips on balancing these various energies while fostering a harmonious environment? Would love to hear about your experiences for better practical application in daily life.

Has understanding your Enneagram type influenced how you parent your children? 🧸✨ Though many agree with typical parenting tips, I wonder to what extent knowledge of one's Enneagram type changes things. Each child is unique as well, hence I'm interested in hearing diverse perspectives on family dynamics informed by Enneagram insights. Whether it's navigating an especially emotional Type Four teen or guiding an overachieving Type Three, experiential wisdom can serve us all. Share challenges, triumphs, or nuances; let's learn together! ✨📚 #ParentingWithEnneagram #FamilyInsights

I'm struggling to find balance in my role as a parent. As an Enneagram Type 1, my drive for perfection sometimes causes tension and prevents me from being fully present. I’m worried my critical nature might be affecting my kids negatively, and I'm constantly stressed about not being the "ideal parent." How do I let go of my high standards and address family dynamics more effectively? Tips from other Type 1s or anyone who has navigated this would be appreciated.🙏

How do different Enneagram types approach parenting? 🧸 As an Enneagram 2, I find myself extremely nurturing, but sometimes I struggle with setting boundaries with my kids. 🛑 I've read that Enneagram 8s, for example, might have a very different style, perhaps more authoritative. For those of you who know your Enneagram type, how has it influenced your parenting or family relationships? Any specific challenges or strengths you've noticed? Would love to hear your experiences and any tips for balancing our natural tendencies with healthy family dynamics!
