The Developing Child: Using Jungian Type to Understand Children

by Elizabeth Murphy

Overview

Using personality type as theorized by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung to help in understanding differences in children, this book gives adults an opportunity to examine some suggested paths for developing positive relationships with the children in their lives. Examples are used to show how psychological type theory applies to daily life. By understanding each of the sixteen psychological types, adults can increase their awareness of more effective ways to help children grow and develop their special gifts and talents.

The more that children and adults understand one another, the better their chances of building strong relationships. Each generation passes its knowledge on to another. This generation of adults can be the initial thread in the cloth that is woven to create enhanced relationships with children, and The Developing Child reveals practical strategies for nurturing the bonds between adults and young people.
