The
Joys and Challenges of Raising INFPs:
They
are idealistic, committed, and deeply passionate, but tend to
idealize relationships, and are easily hurt and tend to hold
grudges. Spontaneous and highly original, they also tend to
be quite disorganized and become overwhelmed by details.
What
works with INFPs:
-
encourage
them to talk about their ideas; listen quietly and give them
your undivided attention
-
allow
them to watch from the sidelines: give them plenty of time
to play alone or day dream
-
respect
the intensity of their feelings; appeal to their desire for
harmony in times of conflict
Parents of INFPs: they'll know you really love them when
you...
go on a date and listen privately to their feelings and reactions.
This
is just the tip of the iceberg. To really understand your INFP
child - from preschool through adolescence - and to learn the
proven parenting strategies that work best for him or her, check
