61 | Parenting by Personality: What Makes the Social, Fun, Disorganized ESFP Child Thrive?


Listen Later

ESFP children are magnetic, expressive, and full of joy. They’re known for their love of fun, their strong connection to others, and their ability to turn every moment into a celebration. But behind that sparkle is a need for emotional safety and real-world experience. In this episode, we unpack the ESFP’s psychological functions—Extraverted Sensing (Se), Introverted Feeling (Fi), Extraverted Thinking (Te), and Introverted Intuition (Ni)—and explore how they shape everything from discipline to career choices.

You’ll learn:

  • Why ESFPs respond better to praise and play than punishment
  • How to handle their impulsivity with empathy
  • How their sensory gifts show up in art, performance, and sports
  • What kinds of environments bring out their best
  • If your child is equal parts sparkle and sensitivity, this episode will help you nurture their spirit while giving them the tools to thrive.

    Wendy Gossett helps parents understand their children by using temperament psychology and neuroscience. She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector.


    Even though she holds a Master’s degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids.  Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast.

     

    Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography.

     

    Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!
