About this listen
You’re already a good parent, but here’s how you can be even better: Do you keep doubting your parenting abilities, because it seems like every time you try harder, you also fail harder? Do you see yourself as a bad parent whenever you make mistakes? Do you wonder what really makes someone a good or a bad parent?
It’s normal to feel this way–parenting is never easy. You’re doing everything you can to give your child the best life possible.
The fact that you’re looking for ways to improve your parenting shows that you are already good enough–because you want to help your offspring thrive in life. Each personality type comes with flaws that can negatively affect your childrearing. It’s crucial to understand how your personality can impact the way you bring up your child, so you know how to improve your weaknesses and play to your strengths. If you want to become the best parent you can be while staying true to yourself, then look no further. Inside, you will discover:
- The nine enneagram types—and how to interpret your results to use them to your advantage.
- How to cultivate a growth mindset so you will not be hard on yourself and the rest of your family.
- Why you need to know your parenting purpose—and seven crucial questions you should ask yourself to discover it.
- What to do to make your child feel valued and cared for, even if you’re a working parent.
- And much more!
The strategies in this audiobook are applicable to children of all ages, from infants and teens to grown-up kids.
This audiobook is not meant to dictate what you should do, but rather to help you develop self-awareness so you can overcome guilt, frustrations, and self-doubt as a parent, and be able to raise your kid without giving in to society’s pressures. If you want to know how to make the most of your personality so you can be the best parent you can be, then this audiobook is a must listen.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Let's Meet with your personality being Parents!
I like this book. As it contains knowledge about parenting.
Every parent tries to do best for their kids but sometimes they think that they are not doing well. Although, the fact is that they do not evaluate themselves. So if you want to become the best parent then self evaluation is an important element to check your parenting abilities.
In this regard, you can take help from this guide to improve yourself. It makes your life more peaceful and it is such a useful book. It is applicable for all teens to grown up adults. Highly recommended!

How Your Personality Influences your Parenting
Parenting a child has been the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. I picked up this book because I’ve taken this personality test in the past and was interested to see how it lined up with ways to parent. It certainly gave valuable tips. My child is only one year old right now but I will stay open minded to considering his personality style as well in the future when parenting. Overall great read!

Deep book! Dealing with parental personality types- Well done!
This was a well thought out book. I am familiar with some aspects of psychology and enneagrams and for them to be easily laid out as it pertains to parenting, was a very nice touch. I saw many of my attributes and shortcomings in this book and it will help me be more conscious of my decision making and reactions.

Must have in all housholds
I am very impressed by how the author has written this book. It goes in-depth on how to do parenting and become a better parent. In today’s society, it is getting harder and harder to raise kids as a parent I know the struggles all parents go through. Use this book as a reference and follow what it says. It will help you a great deal. Must have in all home libraries. I plan to share this book with my daughter to become a better parent raising her kids.

Messages I needed to hear
As a parent, I am often frustrated. I find myself shifting blame between me or my kid when things do not go as I expect. This book offers a different path. The author recommends three simple, straightforward, and practical steps to set up guardrails on my own expectations. I realize now that has been part of the problem. Not only were my expectations too high/too low/made up, but I also had no boundaries.
He reinforces the idea that what is "right" depends highly on context. That is an idea I often forget when I allow my Judeo-Christian values to overwhelm my common sense. The book also reminds me that "growing up" is a two-way street. Kids have to grow up, but so I do--as a parent.
I am encouraged to remember that by following these steps, my child sees me "walk the walk" rather than just "talk the talk." Kids watch our feet much more than they listen to our words. So if I model how to set my intention, create clear goals, and follow through with the actions that support them, that goes much further than just barking at my kid.
As the author points out, no child comes with an owner's manual. But because of the clear writing and a persistent focus on things we can control as parents (namely, what we think, how we speak, and how we act), this is as close to that manual as I have ever encountered.
If you have children, I highly recommend this book. It is a terrific way to pass along healthy habits and raise them in a way that shakes out the crazy from the tree.

What can I say, I really liked this audiobook!
I really liked the principles behind this book. The writer lays it out in simple, easy to understand terms without making you feel like a terrible parent. I feel armed and ready to conquer some of the challenges I face as a parent! Parenting has never come with an instruction manual, but this audiobook just might be the solution to that problem.

Delivers on its promise!
Through this book, you get to understand your behaviors better and be able to communicate and bond with your child(ren) more effectively. I have had many take-homes from it, but here are my top three:
* Know your purpose in parenting; it will help with the difficult choices. I especially benefited from the questions to help discover that purpose.
* Watch your mindset; it needs to be based on truth, adaptability, and progress, not perfection. Boy, was this freeing!
* My best parenting style. I am enneagram 8 and I tend to be controlling. I learnt here how to temper that and use my strengths to my advantage.
I can't recommend this book enough.

Advice customized to your personality
I had never thought about considering my parenting style in terms of my enneagram. But it makes sense. My personality type affects all other aspects of my life, so why not my parenting style too? I thought it was very helpful to have parenting advice that applied directly to me and my specific enneagram. And if you don't know what an enneagram is, don't worry. He explains it. I also liked that he spoke to how to deal with a lot of specific situations, such as a rebellious child.
