Description

Jenny Boyett joins Chris and Christy for the first of two episodes on the four temperaments. The temperaments were discovered over a thousand years ago by Hippocrates and given the greek names Choleric, Sanguine, Melancholy and Phlegmatic. These four have been assigned colors to make them easier to understand. Jenny discusses the importance of not only understanding your own temperament - for self-awareness - but knowing and understanding the temperaments of your spouse and children as well. Communication is key and knowing how to communicate to others based on their "color" can help others become the best version of themselves. In contrast to personalities, temperaments are given at birth and are hard-wired into us. They are a gift from God and cannot be changed. Temperaments can be discovered when our children are young and can help parents better guide and talk to our children. Jenny gives a high level overview of each of the four temperament types and the colors associated with each. She dives into the strengths and weaknesses of the four types and how to encourage each one.
