She offers a quiz to determine your Enneagram type and explains how to discover your child’s type. Examining each of the 9 Enneagram parenting types in detail, Gadd looks at what each parental type wants from their child, how to parent from the highest aspects of your type, and how to utilize your type’s inherent skills to be an even better parent.

She explores each of the 9 types as children, preteens, and teens, including their positive and more challenging traits--what drives them, what they fear, what inspires them--and offers suggestions for how you can best relate to and communicate with your child.

Looking at each of the 81 parent-child combinations, Gadd suggests how each combination works at its best as well as what happens under pressure.

Offering an opportunity to understand your child and yourself on a much deeper level, the author’s systematic approach to parenting with the Enneagram reveals why we and our children behave in certain ways, how to release our habits, and how to be fully present as a parent.

And being present with our children is the best gift we can give them to help them feel safe, heard, and understood.
