Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know. You’re not supposed to type your kids, and for good reason…so why put together a Christmas Enneagram gifts for kids in the gut triad list? Well, because we know you’re going to type them anyway–at least in your head.
Okay, so plenty of Enneagram teachers warn that typing your kiddos can label or wrongly box them into an identity that’s not accurate. Plus, we’re reminded that neurological studies show that our brains aren’t fully developed until age 25, so we’re all still forming our patterns of thought, behavior, emotion, and motivation biases until around then.
BUT the Enneagram is still a tool, and a helpful one in parenting. Especially if you’re a gut-type with an heart-type kiddo. We’d just cautiously and kindly remind you that the Enneagram is sacred, and slapping hurtful labels on people (KIDS!!!) isn’t helpful or kind.
So if you’ve done the work yourself, and have noticed some patterns in your kiddo, we’ve put this list of Enneagram gifts for kids in the gut triad together for YOU. Let’s start with our sweet kiddos who *might* be in the gut triad, or types 8, 9, and 1.
