true to his or her nature. Any number of situations at school, with friends, or family can compromise a child’s true nature. We’ll talk about some of those situations later—and what you can do about them.
    For now, consider these three essential keys to discovering your child’s Energy Profile as you read about each of the 4 Types.

    1. Live true to your own nature. 
    This is more important than you might realize. In fact, it is huge. As parents, we too often try to change or shape our children into something they are not, often in an attempt to line their behavior up with the priorities of our own Energy Type. We don’t even realize we are doing it!
    Until you live true to your own nature, you won’t be able to get the clarity and intuition you need to read your children. Energy Profiling is an intuitive system and you definitely need intuition as a parent. If you’re not living true to yourself 100 percent, that’s okay. Self-awareness is the first step to living true to your nature. 
    If you’ve already identified your Energy Profile, then good for you. If you don’t know your own Type yet, try to identify it as you read through the following sections. You were probably living most true to yourself as a child. You may recognize your tendencies and desires as a child in some of these pages, which will help you discover your own Energy Profile. I can’t stress this enough: You will get clear intuitive hits as a parent when your own true self is honored and whole.
    You may be asking yourself where Energy Profiling even comes from and how I’ve identified these four Types of movement. I have studied the energetics and movement of human nature in the field of energy psychology for over 20 years. In that time, I have discovered that these four elements are the building blocks of our biology and the four Types: nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. (For a broader look and more information about the science behind Energy Profiling, I recommend the resources you can find in Appendix B in the back of this book).

    2. Look at movement, not personality.
    Energy is a movement that begins in the womb—before your child ever develops a personality. So many factors and expectations influence your child’s expression of personality. But natural movement and the basic design of facial features do not change.
    In my discussion of each of the Energy Types, I describe typical patterns in physical development, body language, and physical characteristics that can be a more reliable indicator of a child’s Type than their personality.
    Some of the descriptions or stories for each of the Types may remind you of your interaction with your child or your parents’ interaction with you. To varying degrees, every person carries all four Types within them. But your child leads with the expression of only one dominant Type that will stay consistent throughout his or her life.
    Somethin g to remember: All children are naturally gifted and capable. The only difference is that they will move through life experiences with a different quality of movement. When you identify their dominant movement, you can better honor children to move at their own pace and in their own way.

    3. Get your child in on the conversation.
    Unless your children are very young, don’t Type them without talking about it with them! They know themselves well and will be the best source for knowing their own Type. You can definitely become familiar with this material before sharing with them. However, you shouldn’t expect them to just accept the Type you’ve chosen for them. Children don’t like being told who they are any more than adults do.
    Energy Profiling is a process of self-discovery that empowers children to recognize and own their strengths and abilities. Don’t rob them of that opportunity for self-reflection and fulfillment.

    Children are naturally drawn to experiences that honor their true natures, so they may naturally be drawn to learning about
