    Your child is a gift, no matter which dominant Energy Type they express. As you now look at each of the Types in depth, I encourage you to read with the intent to identify your child’s Type and to honor their true nature more every day.

Type 1: The Fun-Loving Child

    Primary Connection to the World: Social
    Primary Movement: Bouncy and random
    Primary Need: To have fun and happy parents

    T he Type 1 expression comes from the element of nitrogen/air, and its natural primary movement is upward and light. A child with a dominant Type 1 movement will be naturally fun-loving, spontaneous, and cheerful. These children move upward and out to create in this world. They have the highest level of natural movement of all the Types.
    Other words that describe the movement of the energy in a dominant Type 1 child: animated, bubbly, brilliant, light-hearted, and unstructured. Adults often describe a child with a dominant Type 1 energy as a “ray of sunshine.” When I meet a Type 1 child, I always notice the twinkle in their eye and the sparkle in their energy.
    Keeping life light and fun is one of the primary motives for a Type 1 child. Many cultures worldwide value this kind of energy in children, but expect these kids to “grow up” and stop playing games at some point. Treating a Type 1s buoyant, playful movement as a strength will give them powerful permission to live true to themselves. Dominant Type 1 children who are supported to live true to their natures maintain their youthful energy and love for fun, even as they grow into adulthood.

    Natural Gifts and Talents: Ideas and Hope
    Type 1s naturally offer some unique gifts to the world without even trying: lots of new ideas matched with the hope that they are possible.
    They initiate the cycle of wholeness by coming up with new ideas and truly believing those ideas can come true. Their animated quality brings new life to everything. The Type 1 catchphrase is: “I have a new idea, and we can do it!”
    Ideas come easily and readily for Type 1 children. They are naturally brimming with new ideas and they truly believe in all of them. Their natural movement of being light and carefree can also mean they do not naturally follow through. Since they thrive with new experiences and ideas, these children face the challenge of choosing an idea and carrying it to the end.
