Episode 139: Hettie Brittz | Understanding How Your Kids Are Wired

Hettie Brittz joins me for today's episode. She has been married to her husband for 25 years and they have three kids (2 teenagers and one in college). She is also a speaker, author, and a foremost voice in parenting advice and personality styles. She is from South Africa but is currently residing in the United States. She has created a course to help people understand how they are wired and codeveloped the Tall Trees Profile which helps parents understand their child's temperament. I have to say that this was one of my favorite conversations. There is something vulnerable about it. I have a great desire to understand myself better and to understand my children better. We have a conversation about how understanding how you are wired will help you parent better; how working with traumatized kids helped her see how understanding temperaments was the key to helping unlock the heart and she unpacked the different temperament types. She said, "When you understand what our kids need, we get the motivation to parent." What we talked about gave me so much hope. I felt understood. And I started to understand my girls better. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.  Links: Hettie's books: (Un) Natural Mom and Growing Kids with Character Strength Finder book Tall Trees Profile and Tall Trees Profile Assessment for Kids What did you enjoy about this episode?
