You and your Child
A different way of seeing.
No fixing.
No manual.
But recognition.
And calm.
Every child is unique
And every child lives within a system. Sometimes a child gets stuck—in expectations, in school structures,
or in the way we typically relate to children. As a parent, you might see your child losing their spark.
Or sense something is off, without being able to pinpoint it.
You’ve tried everything—and still, that uneasy feeling lingers.
Let’s look from a different angle
What if your child isn’t being "difficult," but is clearly mirroring something that no longer fits?
What if their behaviour expresses something unseen—in the child, in you, or in the environment?
I look beneath the behaviour. At where energy gets stuck. I work body-oriented, with loving clarity, without chasing a diagnosis.
And always attuned to what your child can truly handle—even when words are hard to find.
What to expect in a session
(parent & child together, or separately) Depending on what fits, I work with:
-
Short conversations, with space for silence
-
Play, drawing, body awareness
-
Tools like cards or energetic practices
-
Human Design – if it feels supportive*
*Human Design is a system that helps us understand the unique energy of a child (and parent). Not a test, not a label—but a guidepost.
Sometimes I work only with the parent. Sometimes with parent and child together. We decide the pace, form and duration together.
For whom?
-
Parents who sense their child is "different" than what school expects
-
Children who withdraw, get overstimulated, or show hyperactive behaviour
-
Families open to a softer lens and new perspective

My way of translating Types in Human Design
In Human Design, we distinguish four Types.
Each with their own way of responding, initiating, guiding or reflecting.
Not better or worse—just different.
A child’s aura says it all.
Not what they think, but how they interact.
Not who they wish to be, but who they already are—mechanically, energetically, and uniquely loving.
If a child learns early how their aura works, there’s less frustration, bitterness, anger or disappointment.
Not only for the child, but also for the parent, teacher or friend around them.
I work with the four Types as originally taught by Ra.
But with children (and parents), I use playful imagery and simple language—
not to water it down, but to bring it closer.
Normally, I’m deeply attached to Ra's original terminology. But when working with young children, those terms can be difficult to explain. With images and simple words, the system becomes more accessible—not just for me, but also for parents and teachers wanting to apply Human Design in real life. There’s still much more to develop, but in this tool I focus on the Types and their auras—making them visible, tangible, and gently relatable.
Magnets, Sponges, Stop Signs and Mirrors
Generator (and Manifesting Generator) - Magnets


Magnets draw things in.
Not just what’s good for them—but also what doesn’t truly fit.
That’s how their open, enveloping aura works: it responds to the world.
But that also means Magnets need something to choose correctly:
π their gut.
The defined Sacral Center speaks through sounds.
It may sound odd, but it’s completely natural.
π‘ Magnets often hum, say "mmm," or growl softly in response to something.
π‘ They often make a gut sound before they find words—that’s their truth.
π‘ If you listen closely, you’ll hear their yes or no even before they say "yes" or "no."
You can practice with Magnets by asking yes/no questions:
"Do you want this?"
"Shall we tidy up now?"
The answers come from the gut, not the head: “Ah-hah” (yes), “Uh-uh” (no), “Mmmm…” (not yet sure—so for now, no).
When Magnets learn to trust their gut, they feel satisfied.
If they act because they think they should, they feel frustrated—or even angry.
π‘ Magnets thrive when they do what truly suits them—you can see it in their spark and persistence.
π‘ If they’re forced to push or act without responding first, they stall, complain or shut down.
Magnets are here to respond. If you give them space to do so, they’ll do exactly what their body is designed for.
Not to "do it right," but simply to be themselves—and that is enough.
Projector - Sponges

Sponges are happiest when they’re seen (recognized) and invited.
Not to push themselves forward, but to join—in their way, in their time.
Their body doesn’t respond automatically like Magnets do.
π They need recognition first, then an invitation.
A "Would you like to join?" or a "What do you see?"
Then they open up—in a quiet, beautiful way.
π‘ Sponges can say deeply insightful things, right on time.
π‘ They notice things others miss.
π‘ They love showing what they observe—
be it a detail in a drawing, or how someone’s feeling.
Sponges often enjoy one-on-one contact.
With a friend, a parent, a teacher.
Too many people at once can feel overwhelming.
And that’s okay. In fact, that’s how their energy works.
They’re allowed to be alone.
A toilet break, a sip of water, or just a moment away from the crowd— that’s not withdrawal. That’s self-care.
Sponges have less consistent energy than Magnets.
They don’t need to run, shout or perform to be valuable.
They can sit, observe, feel—and that’s just right.
When Sponges can be themselves, they feel successful.
If they adapt just to belong, or overextend for approval, they feel bitter.
Manifestor = Stop signs

Stop Signs have an inner drive to do something—it appears suddenly.
An idea. An impulse. Their whole body says: "Yes! I want to do this!"
And then… they want to act on it immediately.
π‘ Stop Signs might disappear suddenly—off on a mission without a word.
π‘ They might be found up in a tree, or mid-adventure no one knew about.
π‘ They love exploring the world in their own way. Alone. Independent. Curious.
For a Stop Sign, it’s natural to go outside, grab something, or start a game—
without asking first.
Not because they’re disobedient,
but because that’s how their energy moves.
Still, it can be startling for others.
Teachers, parents, friends—
they often don’t understand,
and react with resistance or anger.
That’s why it’s so important to teach Stop Signs:
π Inform first.
Say what you’re going to do.
Ask if it’s okay.
Not to ask permission,
but to stay connected.
When a Stop Sign learns this early,
they face less conflict—and gain more freedom.
Fewer angry reactions, more trust.
And that softens their world.
π‘ If a Stop Sign suddenly gets angry, check if they met resistance to something they wanted to initiate.
When they’re allowed to be themselves, and learn how to inform, peace and trust arise.
If they’re blocked or constantly "cut off," they get angry. And that hurts everyone.
Reflector - mirrors

Mirrors are sensitive. Very sensitive.
They absorb others’ energy and reflect what’s alive—
not intentionally, but naturally.
π‘ A Mirror may suddenly cry, and you won’t know why.
π‘ Or go silent, just when you thought all was fine.
π‘That's because they feel what others feel—anger, sadness, joy, tension—and mirror it without a filter.
In a group, a lot enters at once:
emotions, moods, tension.
A Mirror feels it all.
They have a beautiful system to release it again, but one thing is essential:
π they need calm. And space.
Mirrors must be seen in their moments.
If they go quiet, talk a lot, or step away—
it’s not "weird." It’s how their energy moves.
π‘ They can be fascinated by small things.
π‘ They often sense exactly who they do or don’t want to sit next to.
π‘ Give them time to choose a spot in class, or who they want to sit with.
Because Mirrors are rare,
many adults don’t know how to support them.
That’s why recognition and guidance matter deeply.
The most important thing a Mirror can learn is:
π Set boundaries.
Know who feels good. Know where it’s safe.
Don’t absorb everything. Don’t carry it all.
If they can practise this,
they discover they can show others how they’re doing—
without losing themselves.
When Mirrors are recognised in their unique way of feeling, they feel wonder, connection and softness.
If not, disappointment creeps in—
because they so wanted to do well for everyone.
β οΈ Note
Every child is unique.
What you read above are general descriptions based on Type and aura.
But Human Design is a holistic system.
A child's true qualities, challenges and needs only come alive when you look at the full picture — including Gates, Lines, Channels, Definition, and Environment.
We never look at just one puzzle piece.
We look at the whole field.
At the child as a whole being.
π§ Use this information as a direction,
not as a fixed label.
Life stages in Human Design
Human Design grows with your child.
Each phase brings something new—
and asks for something different.

Pregnancy

Preparing without shaping
During pregnancy, your child’s Design isn’t fully visible yet.
The actual imprint emerges at the moment of birth.
What you can do during this time is tune into yourself:
your own design, beliefs, and energy.
π‘ How you are during pregnancy influences how your child enters the world.
Human Design helps you understand yourself,
so you can make space for what comes—without trying to shape it.

Child (0 - 14 years)

The first two life cycles
The first fourteen years are foundational.
In the first seven, the body is highly sensitive to conditioning.
In the next seven, the mind begins to form—
and the influence of the not-self can already be felt.
What a child learns in this stage settles deeply.
Not as thought, but as belief.
π‘ Conditioning isn’t wrong.
It helps children learn, grow and build wisdom.
But when upbringing chronically conflicts with their Design,
conditioning no longer brings clarity—
but confusion about who they truly are.
By supporting a child early in alignment with their Design,
we don’t create perfect adults.
We lay a foundation for a life rooted in their own direction.
No fixing. No pressure.
With respect for the body’s pace.

Teenager/young adult (15-21 years)

The search for identity
In this phase, the mind comes into the picture more clearly.
Questions like “Who am I?” and “Where do I belong?” become present.
The young person pushes boundaries, tests them,
and longs for structure at the same time.
When you know how your child’s Design works,
you can set boundaries without pushing.
Be present without pulling.
Guide without controlling.
π‘ Teens thrive on closeness that doesn’t demand,
and direction that doesn’t take over.
π The choices they practise here echo into their Saturn Return—
when adult life truly begins.
Every child is different—so is what I offer
For children ages 0 to 14, I create personalised Design booklets, tailored to their unique Human Design.
Sometimes playful and simple, sometimes with more depth.
For teens and young adults, I don’t use a booklet,
but offer a 1-on-1 session.
A moment of reflection, clarity and direction.
Not vague, not school-like.
But a practical encounter where your son or daughter gets to hear themselves.
Literally.

Here’s a brief visual summary—
useful at home, in the classroom,
or as a gentle reminder.
In closing...
I don’t promise a solution.
No quick fix.
No "better" version of your child.
What I do offer is a new way of seeing.
A lens that looks beyond behaviour.
That touches the blueprint.
And gently opens something soft.
