615: Sandra Etherington: How To Better Support Your Child Based On Their Innate Personality Type


Listen Later

Sandra is a mom of a 6 year old and an 8 year old. She is the owner of Family Personalities and the co-host of the Family Personalities podcast, a show that brings personality type models into parenting. If this conversation fascinates you as much as it does me, definitely go subscribe to her show! Sandra uses her experience and training in Myers-Briggs personality type, to work with families, helping them parent more effectively and compassionately based on their children's unique wiring and needs.


I am obsessed with personality types. I believe that knowing your type gives you so much power to lean into who you truly are in all the best ways possible. This was a fantastic and deeply insightful conversation all around how knowing our personality type and our kid’s personality types can be hugely beneficial and helpful in supporting our kid’s needs. 


Listen in to hear Sandra share:

  • How to use the Myers-Briggs to understand how you make decisions, how you get energy, how you take in information
  • How to best figure out your Myers-Briggs type - outside of standard assessments
  • Why is super valuable to know your kids type in order to see some of their “harder” behaviors in a positive light
  • How to use your child’s type to motivate them 
  • Her experience of struggling to “go with the flow” when enduring 4 miscarriages and really looking at her type to learn how to step away in order to see the bigger and pivot 
  • Learning about the NJ superpower: gleaning insight, taking in data/info and curating it to create something bigger
