234. Parenting by Design: Understanding Your Child's Cognition

In this episode we are exploring one of the most practical and powerful ways to support children through their design: Cognition. This is an advanced Human Design concept that reveals a person's strongest sense for taking in information, discerning what's aligned, and navigating life with greater trust in themselves. Through personal stories, client experiences, and real-life parenting examples, we break down all six cognition types—Smell, Taste, Outer Vision, Inner Vision, Feeling, and Touch—and explain how understanding your child's cognition can support everything from food preferences and learning styles to emotional well-being and self-trust. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or simply interested in re-parenting yourself, this episode offers simple yet profound ways to honor individuality and nurture authentic self-expression from an early age.   Key Takeaways: Why your child's cognition influences how they take in information, make decisions, and discern what's right for them. Why supporting and honoring your child's cognition and sensory preferences builds self-trust and helps them develop confidence in their own inner guidance and authority. The six cognition types and how each offers a unique way of processing and interacting with life. How simple changes to a child's environment, food presentation, routines, and sensory experiences can create more ease, alignment, and well-being. Why understanding your own cognition and design can help you re-parent yourself and model self-awareness, self-trust, and alignment for the next generation.     Get 10% off our Parenting Cheat Sheet!
