The
Joys and Challenges of Raising INTPs:
They
are curious, independent, and strong willed, but also tend to
be reticent to share their emotions, fears, or worries. While
they are creative, logical, and innovative, they are also usually
critical, argumentative, and ignore rules or authority.
What
works with INTPs:
-
respect
their privacy and look for common interests to foster closeness
and intimacy
-
don't
fuss over them, let them try to do things for themselves and
learn from the consequences of their successes and failures
-
expect
to be challenged often as they strive to achieve perfection
in their arguments
Parents of INTPs: they'll know you really love them when
you...
send them to Space Camp.
This
is just the tip of the iceberg. To really understand your INTP
child - from preschool through adolescence - and to learn the
proven parenting strategies that work best for him or her, check
