Supporting Manifestor Children

Manifestors are on this planet to initiate, create new things, and do things their own way. And their aura is built to move anything that stands in their way of doing so. In fact, if they feel like they are being told what to do or that someone is trying to control them, they can become quite angry.

It's important to set strong boundaries with your manifesto child to let them know what is acceptable and what is not. But also giving them a lot of room and freedom.

It is imperative that you teach them to ask or inform before they do something. Manifestors typically hate asking and informing because it feels like it's slowing them down, but manifestor children will learn that they will actually have more freedom if they simply ask for or inform.

As a parent of a manifestor child, say 'yes' as much as possible. Let them figure things out on their own, as long as they are not in any danger of course. Which is why it's so important to set boundaries early on. (Yes, you can ride your bike outside, and you know not to go past the corner. Or yes, you can make that craft, and please make sure to line the table with paper first.)

If a manifestor child becomes angry, this is simply an emotion that shows that they are out of alignment. This could mean that someone was trying to control them (example: a sibling telling them what to do) or that they are out of alignment in one of their centers. Help them understand that they are not angry, but they are experiencing anger. And that the anger is a message telling them that they are out of alignment.

Help them put their feelings into words so that they can understand what caused them to feel angry and then help them reframe the situation to help them shift out of anger.

Manifestor children also have strong urges. That means that if they get the notion to do something, they won't stop until they get it going. However, once they get it started, the urge goes away and they don't feel like completing it. So, they may start to play with one thing and then quickly hop to something else. Leaving a trail of messes behind them. You could organize their playtime around this by allowing them to freely roam around starting things, and then have a massive cleanup session together after. Or you may want to set the boundary that when the urge goes away, they need to put it away before starting something else.

Experiment with different ways and see which works best. Every manifestor child is different of course.
