Are you parenting a little Champ? Look out Oprah's a Champ!

How will you know if you have a little Champ living in your home with you? What does she need? How can you bring out the best in her?

A little Champ will be striving to be the best and most of the time succeeding. She will work hard and expect to win. She may get stressed about getting an A on every test and presentation. She will be interested in others doing well also even though she is competing with them--a very win-win sort of child.

So how can you help? Although competing and winning is important, your little Champ needs to learn to slow down and appreciate the moment and have permission to do some activities just for the fun of it. If you are a Buddy parent you may find this easy to do. If your personality is also Champ you may need to catch yourself encouraging your child to be an achievement machine. Explore your personality and find out how to bring out the best in your child-whatever her or his personality type!
