The
Joys and Challenges of Raising ISTPs:
They
are usually independent, even-tempered and matter of fact, but
may also be reticent to join socially and reluctant to share
emotions and reactions. Pragmatic, logical, and realistic, they
may also be skeptical or impatient with anything outside of
their direct experience.
What
works with ISTPs:
-
be
clear, direct, and specific and then give them your full attention
or you will miss important, even vital information
-
encourage
and allow them to do things for themselves, like feeding and
dressing
-
don't
interpret their lack of expression of affection as a lack
of caring; don't try to make them feel guilty for not being
more demonstrative
Parents of ISTPs: they'll know you really love them when
you...
let them putter all day without asking them what they are
doing.
This
is just the tip of the iceberg. To really understand your ISTP
child - from preschool through adolescence - and to learn the
