In this episode, Heather and Kristina continue their exploration of David Kiersey’s temperament theory, which outlines four fundamental temperaments: Guardians, Artisans, Idealists, and Rationals. 

Drawing from their own parenting journeys, they delve into the Idealists and Rationals, sharing valuable insights that illuminate how these temperaments shape our children’s unique perspectives. 

Heather and Kristina discuss how understanding these traits can enhance our parenting by allowing us to tailor our approaches to fit each child’s individual needs. They explore the delightful dynamics that come with each temperament, revealing how this awareness helps us approach parenting with greater empathy and joy. 

Join them as they celebrate the diverse ways our children experience the world, empowering us all to support and nurture their growth in the most loving ways!
