In this heartfelt episode of Childhood and the Enneagram, Susan Parker Jones invites you to look beneath the surface of children’s behavior and discover what’s really going on inside.
Whether it’s a tantrum, defiance, or withdrawal, every behavior carries a story — and a need. Drawing from trauma-informed strategies like Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and real-life examples, Susan explores how we can move from correction to connection.
You’ll learn the importance of nervous system safety, emotional regulation, and why “acting out” is often just a child’s way of saying, I don’t have the words yet.
Plus, a powerful reflection on your own childhood behaviors — and how offering your inner child curiosity instead of criticism can begin the healing process.
This episode is a must-listen for parents, teachers, therapists, and anyone who’s ever wondered, What’s really going on here?
Because when we stay curious about the story underneath the behavior, we offer something more than discipline — we offer dignity, safety, and connection.
