It sounds like your child might be a
Kind, Creative, & Sensitive
These children are often empathetic, sensitive, kind, and creative—traits that can serve them well. At home, however, they may seek constant reassurance, have difficulty sleeping, and become easily tearful or angry. Parents often feel like they're managing constant emotional ups and downs or answering lots of "what if" questions.
When parenting a Worrier, preparing them for what's ahead, using gentle discipline, teaching coping skills, and helping them feel safe to express their feelings can help. Your child may not always fit this type, but starting with resources for Worriers may be useful.

The research
According to decades of research, every child is born with a fairly set temperament — the way they view and react to the world. But we can shape the environment around them. Adapting parenting style for a good-fit environment is tied to significant improvement in mental health outcomes.
A 2011 study found that children from a "good fit" home demonstrated 50% fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescence than those who didn't. Read more about the science.
No child fits neatly into one category — but your GoodFit Quiz results help you tap into Belay's expertise based on your child's personality. We help you tackle today's challenges and build the foundation for what lies ahead.
