Summary: <br> <a href="https://www.simplyconvivial.com/ch-season3">Season 3: Personality Matters</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Don’t miss the free homeschool personalities reference page!<br> <br> <br> <br> Understanding differences in personality type can drastically reduce conflict and friction in relationships, and this is as true with our children as it is with anyone else.<br> <br> <br> <br> However, typing children is tricky.

It’s true. You are not either a total extrovert or a total introvert – or, if you are, you’re not functional. Extroverting means dealing with anything external to you while introverting means dealing with anything inside your mind – we all do both, though we each prefer one mode.<br> <br> <br> <br> And, there are multiple ways to both extrovert and introvert. For example, a TJ personality type extroverts by making decisions, being bossy, and getting things done while an FJ type extroverts by being a sort of emotional thermostat for people – sensing where people are and helping move them toward where they ne...
