About this listen
In this episode, we explore the tender heart and high standards of the Type One child—often called the Improver or Reformer. These kids are responsible, principled, and driven by a deep desire to get it right. But behind the helpfulness and maturity is often an inner critic that never quiets down.
We’ll talk about how Type One children manage their anger, why they may struggle with black-and-white thinking, and how their need to be good can come at the cost of joy. You’ll learn practical strategies to help them embrace self-compassion, integrate their full Harmony Triad (1-4-7), and build a new inner narrative: “I don’t have to be perfect to be loved.”
This one’s for every parent, teacher, or caregiver supporting a child who carries the quiet weight of being the good one.
