Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

Eps 437: Valerie Tih shares how the Enneagram can make us better parents


Listen Later

I am so excited to talk to my guest, Valerie Tih, today.  


Valerie starts by explaining what Enneagram types are, how Enneagram complements Positive Discipline, & why Enneagram types are useful when it comes to parenting.  Valerie shares a bit about practicing presence and balancing your body, heart, & head.  I ask how we can connect deeper with the teens we have and what to do when your Enneagram type is different from your child’s.  We get into how to expand our relationship with our teen, how our ego plays in, and how & why we need to have faith in our adolescents.
