The
Joys and Challenges of Raising ISTJs:
They
are quiet, serious, and careful but typically are reluctant
to initiate social interaction. While they are organized, determined,
and methodical, they can also be single-minded, super cautious
and a bit rigid.
What
works with ISTJs:
-
give
them plenty of time to adjust to new things and keep routines
in place as much as possible
-
be
clear and explicit in your directions and requests; say what
you mean, and mean what you say
-
don't
rush them from one activity to another; respect their slower
transition pace
Parents of ISTJs: they'll know you really love them when
you...
let them demonstrate their expertise, ask them to research
a potential purchase.
This
is just the tip of the iceberg. To really understand your ISTJ
child - from preschool through adolescence - and to learn the
