Elemental Parenting
Am I doing the right thing for my child?
Have you ever wondered whether your making the right decisions for your child? Or whether you’re doing a good enough job? We have to make dozens of decisions everyday. How do we know we’re making the right ones?
Whether it’s how to get you baby to sleep through the night or if you should put child in after school sports, there’s not always a clear “right” answer. The reality is more like trial and error. What works for one child doesn’t always work for another.
But, we can shorten the learning curve when we understand our children from the 5-Element perspective.
In fact, discovering your child’s 5-Element type is almost like getting a ‘user’s manual’ for your child!
According to Chinese medicine, the Five Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each Element has corresponding physical characteristics, personality traits, strengths, and weaknesses that shape each child’s overall health and way of being with the world.
One particular way of being will influence your child’s personality, health, and temperament above all others—their Dominant Element.
When we discover our child’s Dominant Element, we begin to see patterns that allow us to understand the individual child’s needs and allows us to make subtle (but profound) changes to how we interact with and parent them. This can free us up, as parents, to love and appreciate the unique traits and quirks that our children bring to our lives.
It will give you insight into your child’s innate nature and unravel the mystery of what your child needs to thrive. It makes all those decisions you have to make a LOT clearer.
