Green/Phlegmatic Temperament Profile

Your child is gentle, calm, and observant, often preferring quiet, harmonious environments. They thrive when given stability and reassurance.

How to support them: Offer gentle guidance, patience, and a calm environment. Encourage participation without pressure and celebrate small successes.

Receiving Gifts

Your child feels most loved through thoughtful gifts or surprises, which show that you know and value them. It’s less about materialism and more about intentional thoughtfulness.

How to support them: Offer small, meaningful tokens or surprises that reflect their interests, celebrate achievements, or mark special occasions.

Unschooling

Unschooling is a child-led approach to learning grounded in trust, curiosity, and the belief that education happens naturally through life itself. It moves away from formal curriculum and traditional instruction. Instead, recognising that children are born with an innate desire to learn and make sense of the world.

In an unschooling environment, everyday experiences — conversations, play, projects, exploration, and relationships — become the curriculum. Learning follows the child’s interests, passions, and real-life questions, weaving knowledge through meaningful experiences.

The role of the parent or mentor is to support, not steer — to offer resources, opportunities, and encouragement while trusting the child’s process. The aim is not to replicate school at home, but to nurture self-directed learners who are confident, capable, and deeply connected to their own curiosity.
