Personality Type B Kids Are Fuss-Free To Raise?
Personality type quizzes are increasing in popularity on social media as game-based assessments seem to be on the rise. A sort of spinoff from how employers assess remote workers could lie at the bottom of this recent trend. Is it easier to raise a Type B child than, for example, a Type A kid? Read on to find out more.
What is A Type B?
Personality typing is something that can be done, but here are the disclaimers: There’s no way that you can test exactly, as it’s a theory. Some kids might overlap with other types. Like the Zodiac, your Pisces child might not always be dreamy and sensitive. They might have a bit of Aries in them and be full of energy and prone to take charge.
However, for this article, it is sufficient to note that many children do present personalities that line up with their type. A Type B child will most probably reveal the following traits, per Tutor Doctor:
- Passive,
- Reserved,
- Calm,
- Unfussy, and
- Steady.
Easy Kids To Raise?
It might sound like a dream if your child has those traits. However, as they grow a bit older, they might struggle with school because, well, tomorrow’s another day. Then, when it comes to high school and employment, they might struggle with assignments and deadlines because of time management issues.
Notably, if your child is a personality Type B, that doesn’t mean they can’t succeed. Known celebrities who sometimes display a different persona to the world are thought to be Type Bs. They include Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, and Paul McCartney.
Do Parents Struggle?
A Type B child who starts parenting later in life might struggle when it comes to raising a child of any other type. That’s real enough, given some social media discussions. One example arrived when u/spiralstream6789 on the r/AskOldPeopleAdvice Sub-Reddit asked about changing to cope with their child.
In part, they described how they struggle with “overcoming challenges” and “managing the day-to-day basics.” They found it easier to let things slide with their child as they felt disadvantaged by their own personality type B.
The comments and suggestions from the discussion all pointed to people being able to change. But it takes effort.
One person wrote, “There is hope for you. But you have to want to change; nobody can do it for you. I know it’s hard to hear. I’ve had times in my life that were pretty low. I had to fix it myself.”
So, it might be easy to raise a placid child, but it’s not always that easy for the child to deal with pressure later on in life. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below, and come back often for all your parenting news and tips
