Denver, CO 80222Parents of more than one child recognize that more than the environment influences the ways their child evolves. Type expressions at young ages give a hint to the child’s preferences even though these are not developed in the sense that the child is aware of these preferences. Still, parents can use type information to adjust situations to better match their child’s way of processing and interacting.Once the child enters school the teacher needs to be sensitive to the function choices in order to offer instruction in both sensing and intuitive styles as well as address thinking and feeling classroom needs.Program Objectives: Participants will
* explore the differences in type expressed across ages and* discuss ways to facilitate type development.Half of the session will focus on home applications while the other half focuses on school applications.
Enjoy a morning of fellowship as we explore tips for helping the different parent types survive the challenges of their child’s type at home and school. Fun, good stories, and solid information will be the “take-aways” for all who come.
