Type Nine - How Can I Raise A Peacemaker?

Send a textIn this episode of Childhood and the Enneagram: Stories That Shape Us, we explore Type 9—the Peacemaker—and how their natural desire for peace can quietly lead them to lose touch with their own voice. Licensed therapist and Enneagram practitioner Susan Parker Jones explains how Type 9 children often learn to withdraw or merge with others to avoid conflict, and what parents can do to help them develop confidence, self-awareness, and emotional resilience. You’ll learn how the dragon of anger shows up for Type 9s, how to support their growth through the Harmony Triad, and how to gently guide them toward wholeness without sacrificing their beautiful gift of peace.Whether you're raising a Type 9 child or recognize these patterns in yourself, this conversation offers insight, encouragement, and practical tools for healing and growth.
