How is each MBTI as parents

 


ENFJ as a parent:

The ENFJ takes the role of fatherhood or motherhood seriously and considers it important to transfer values and principles from him to his children, and he will constantly work to be a good role model for them. The ENFJ believes that it is his responsibility to raise his children to be good. This characteristic, in addition to the strict value system that the ENFJ has set for himself, ultimately makes him see in his children’s eyes that he or she is a somewhat strict father or mother, with high expectations for what the children will achieve. On the other hand, he is a warm, loving, and supportive father to his children. The ENFJ can also be relied upon to carry out the daily duties of caring for the children and providing for their needs.

It is not easy to be an ENFJ's son. The ENFJ's life revolves around social relationships, and he takes his role in the social relationship seriously. The ENFJ constantly deals with the relationship and constantly monitors its progress. This type of follow-up makes some people uncomfortable. The ENFJ has an established and solid system of values and principles and has clear ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Because he considers it a fatherly duty to pass this system and ideas on to his children, and also because the ENFJ has a strong and close relationship with his children, all of this may cause him to be strict, controlling, and aware of all his children’s actions and intentions. The ENFJ must remember to give his children patience and loosen the rope so that they can grow, learn, and mature. With some effort, the ENFJ will be able to convey his value system to his children, and at the same time, in an equal manner, he will give them room to learn and set for themselves principles and values that they believe in.

As is the case with most characters, the ENFJ will face a problem with his children when they approach their teenage years. Children need more freedom at this age, and they will begin to complain about the excessive attention and care from their parents. This problem will double if the ENFJ is the type who uses manipulation to control his children. Because the ENFJ has good skills in dealing with people, when things do not go as he wants, the ENFJ may exploit this ability for personal gain to get what he wants or to evade a situation. When the ENFJ's children grow older, they will discover their father's tendency to manipulate and exploit them, and they will begin to question their father's value system and resent their father's exploitation and manipulation of them to follow his system of doing. Therefore, the ENFJ needs to know that his nature may require him to manipulate and exploit people in some situations, and to make every effort not to do so in a negative way.

In general, the ENFJ has only good intentions towards his children. His children will remember him when they grow up as being affectionate and supportive, though meticulous and firm. They will also appreciate him for the goals, values, and ideas he passed on to them.

The ENFP as a parent:

The ENFP takes fatherhood seriously, but that does not mean that he does not have fun and play with his children. This does not make him forget to pass on his values and beliefs to his sons and daughters. He always strives for his children to grow up in a good and ideal environment. The ENFP’s dealings with his children may create confusion for the children because in a moment he is the friend who descends to the children’s level and caresses them, but as soon as the son or daughter violates one of the father’s beliefs or values, he moves to issue orders and guidance.

The ENFP's children feel loved, as the ENFP gives them all the love and affection they need. At the same time, he treats each of his children as an independent person with independent characteristics and character, which gives them room to develop and mature as independent individuals. But the ENFP's enthusiasm and affection for his children may make them feel that he is very urgent. This will be especially true for intellectual or sensual children, who will not understand the ENFP’s emotion or will feel embarrassed if the ENFP’s enthusiasm or emotion appears in a public place in front of a crowd of people.

The ENFP can carry out daily care tasks for children, such as taking them from school, feeding them, or playing with them. But this is an ability for the ENFP to pay for, not one of his strengths. The ENFP finds it difficult to teach his children time discipline or discipline them unless one of the values is violated.

Finally, the ENFP is a caring and creative father, who creates an enjoyable environment for his children to grow up in. Also, the ENFP with his developed value system can pass it on to his children in the form of lessons and experiences from which the children learn a lot.

ENTJ as parent:

The ENTJ takes his duties as a father seriously, and also feels that it is his duty to transmit his values and goals to his children. Children's education must be at a high level and on an ongoing basis, and the ENTJ is often a very strict parent who expects a lot from his children. The ENTJ encourages his children to think independently, and tries to pass on his experiences to them. He expects his children to follow his footsteps in life and be like him. The house rules set by the ENTJ must be strictly adhered to by the children, and there is no room for error. If one of the children makes a mistake or breaks one of the rules, the father may punish him very harshly. Therefore, the children respect the father, the ENTJ. During the children's adolescence, many problems may occur between the father, the ENTJ, and the teenage son, due to the latter's failure to obey the laws and rules of the former. It may be good for the parent to understand and try to be soft and flexible in dealing with the teenager.

AN ENTJ parent who has not developed his emotional side will be a dictatorial parent, the type who issues orders and expects implementation without discussion. This type of treatment will have a bad effect on the children in the long run, so the parent must always remember the importance of feeling people’s feelings.

Chiefs who have successfully overcome the problems that accompany their personality type make the best parents. Their children remember them and remain in contact with them and have a very good relationship. These children often follow in their parents' footsteps and are successful in the professional field and may be presidents of companies.

The ENTP as parent:

With his cheerful and optimistic nature, it can be said that there is a young child ENTP inside every person. The ENTP takes education with a fun and loving approach, and he does so for one goal: to emerge from any accident with a lesson “for the child and the ENTP.” This helps the child grow up as an independent and rational thinker.

The ENTP is often inconsistent in the time he spends with his children. At one point, he is very interested in the children and everything they do. Once his work calls him or he finds his way in a scheme to improve a system, he will subconsciously ignore and neglect his children.

ESFJ as a parent:

As a father or mother, the ESFJ is very committed to his role and duties, and will freely express his love and encouragement to his children. He expects his children to return respect and obedience to him, and he will not tolerate any behavioral deviation on their part. His personality is characterized by the characteristic of “emotion.” This makes the issue of punishment and imposing discipline on children difficult. If the ESFJ does not work to overcome this, he will use indirect methods of punishment, such as manipulating his children to make them feel guilty. This is a problem that the provider would prefer to work to overcome, as punishment is more effective and healthier if the matter calls for punishment.

The ESFJ is a servant person who seeks to provide services and make those around him happy. Accordingly, the children of ESFJ will likely have all practical needs met. A giving father will provide his children with an organized environment, in which each individual's boundaries, needs, and rights are clearly defined.

The ESFJ’s tendency to control and control, his tendency to be traditional, in addition to his focus on providing security and stability for his family, all suggest that the ESFJ, during some periods of his fatherhood, would be strict and extremely controlling of his children’s actions. However, the ESFJ will be the advocate and voice of his children before others. ESFJ's children often rebel against their father's decisions and authority at some point, and this will cause pressure on the parents and children. In this case, the ESFJ will tend to manipulate his children's feelings to make them feel guilty for their actions. Depending on the extent of this manipulation, it may cause damage to the relationship between the ESFJ and his children.

The ESFJ’s children remember their father as a loving, compassionate father who created order, guidance, and principles for them at home.

ESFP as parent:

Going with the flow and loving to enjoy time are two characteristics of the ESFP that will extend to the lives of his children. The ESFP is a caring and loving father or mother who gives a lot of care to his children.

The ESFP will not find it difficult to express love and affection to his children, but he may face a problem in setting systems and creating an organized environment for them, and he may depend a lot on his husband in this process. In general, the ESFP believes that too many regulations in people's lives is not a healthy thing, and therefore the ESFP will most likely not impose regulations or punish his children. If this is apparent in the ESFP and he does not try to amend it, and the ESFP’s husband does not compensate for that absence, then this will inevitably lead to a problem in the family. Children need someone to impose order on them, raise them, and show them right from wrong.

The ESFP is practical and concerned with his daily needs, and is usually good at providing daily care and care for children. Despite the ESFP's approach to life, which is often active and full of exciting events, he is very good at dealing with several things at the same time, which means he is able to take care of children even in a large family.

The ESFP finds it difficult to cope with the task of leadership, preferring to be a friend to the son rather than a leader. However, he expects his children to treat him with respect and appreciation and obey his commands, and he will assume a leadership and fatherly role at times. This change may be frustrating for “strict” children, as they do not know what to expect from a performing father.

The children remember their father, the ESFP, as loving, kind, optimistic, and loved to have fun, even though he was sometimes distracted.

ESTJ as a parent:

The ESTJ takes parenting seriously and enjoys the duties assigned to him. The ESTJ sees the duty of fatherhood as a natural state and welcomes the opportunity given to him to raise his children to become responsible and independent.

The ESTJ believes that parents should always be parents and that children should always remain children. Therefore, there may be a barrier between the ESTJ and his children. The ESTJ expects the children to treat him with a degree of respect and appreciation, and the ESTJ will not tolerate if the children deviate from this basic rule.

The ESTJ is impatient, inefficient and chaotic. He hates seeing mistakes repeated. Therefore, the ESTJ will face some problems with children who have an intuitive nature in receiving information or children who have a lenient nature in performing duties. The ESTJ is a practical person, and does not understand or see value in his children’s imagination. He will also be impatient with the lack of order and arrangement at work, or with children who have a permissive nature. This lack of patience with children whose personal nature is different from the ESTJ may cause disagreements, and may lead the ESTJ to express his anger in a way that may degrade his status with his children. So, the ESTJ has to remember that, and the way the ESTJ works may not necessarily mean that it's the only way things are done.

Whatever disagreements arise between the ESTJ and his children, the ESTJ believes that his son remains his son no matter what he says. This is because the ESTJ sees the duty of parenting as a duty that the ESTJ bears no matter what happens.

The superintendent's children will remember the superintendent as trustworthy, dependable, strict, traditional, and that he was always ready to sacrifice everything he had for the benefit of his children.

ESTP as parent:

You will find a little child inside every meadow, so the meadow will enjoy spending time with his children. The ESTP's goal of fatherhood or motherhood is not to impose order on his children. He prefers to deal with things as they happen, and he will try to pass this way of dealing with things to his children. The ESTP will be eager to teach his children as well as to learn from them. He is likely to treat his children as individuals, each with their own viewpoints, and will give them room to express them in the family.

The ESTP does not believe that he has the answers to all the questions. He believes that there are many things in life that have no clear answers. He tends to be humble and does not feel any superiority over others, and does not feel that he must impose his opinion or control others. Therefore, he is more likely to be a companion and friend to his children than a guide and discipline for them. But the ESTP will have no problem punishing or disciplining the children when the need arises. The ESTP's leniency and taking things in life simply will not lead him to punish his children except rarely, unlike some other personality types. This may be a point of contention between the ESTP and his wife.

The ESTP is very excellent at dealing with emergencies, being very practical and having quick reactions. He is well aware of daily needs, and is often very good at providing practical daily care for children. The ESTP will not be able to express his feelings clearly to his children, and may be rough and unnatural in expressing his love when he does.

In general, the ESTP is an enthusiastic father who often has a close relationship with his children.

INFJ as a parent:

The INFJ is usually a caring and nurturing father to his children. His goal is to help children grow and mature to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong, and to become independent.

On the way to achieving this, the INFJ gives his children the tenderness and care they need and treats them as people who have their voices heard in making family decisions. The INFJ wants his children to think for themselves and make the right decisions. He may be demanding of his children, and he may also have high expectations for their behavior. Although the INFJ is gentle and gentle in his dealings with children, he may become bitter and stubborn when the children do not live up to his expectations, or when he is exposed to a lot of pressure.

The INFJ takes his parenting role seriously. He will make sacrifices for the benefit of his children without review or thought and regret. In his life, transmitting values and principles to his children is one of his most important priorities. The Chancellor's children remember their father as a caring, patient, and inspiring person.

INFP as a parent:

The INFP is a natural father/mother. He accepts and enjoys his duties towards his children, as he sees them as an extension of his personal value system. He uses the role of fatherhood or motherhood to develop his value system and to pass these values on to his children. He takes this role seriously. The INFP is a caring, encouraging, flexible, and generally kind and easy-going parent in many ways.

The INFP hates conflict situations, and therefore he will try to be flexible and diverse to make the living environment at home free of conflicts. Naturally, the INFP will not be good at imposing punishments or disciplining the children whenever they make a mistake, and he will try to rely on his wife to impose them on the children. If the INFP's husband is also unable to impose the system, the INFP and his wife will need to work on enforcing it because of its importance in raising the children properly.

Although the INFP does not want to impose punishments or discipline his children, if one of the children violates one of the values to which the INFP is committed, the INFP will have no problem punishing and disciplining him. He will interrogate the son and demand that he complies and correct the mistake.

The INFP will likely treat his or her child as an independent person and will give him space to explore and grow on his own. He will give the children a voice in the family and listen to their opinions on family matters.

The INFP is a loving father who devotes his life to his children. He will protect and support his children in every step they take in their lives. When it is necessary to take sides, be sure that the INFP will take sides with the party that includes his children. His children will remember him as a loving, patient, flexible father who dedicated his life to their welfare.

The INTJ as a parent:

The INTJ seeks to raise his children to be smart and independent. He wants his children to think, to make their own decisions, and often gives them room to grow and evaluate their ideas and opinions throughout their lives.

It is not normal for an INTJ to be an encouraging or overly emotional parent, because his need to express his emotions is often low. He may not see the need to support and motivate his children, and even if he notices this need, he will not support it or encourage his children to develop it. This may create a gap between him and his children. Therefore, he must remember to meet his children's emotional needs.

The INTP as parent:

The INTP loves and respects knowledge, and will try to pass this on to his children. What he feels most comfortable with is seeing his children grow up to be independent, mature and rational adults. The INTP encourages his children to be independent, enhances their sense of responsibility, will respect his children’s opinions and desires, and will allow his children to express their opinions on topics related to family decisions.

The INTP is often a lenient and flexible father with his children, to a great extent, which may go so far as not to interfere in the children’s affairs and leave the issue of intervention to the wife. He is also lenient in the matter of his life commitments and will pass this on to his children unless his wife tries to adjust and set limits on the children’s actions. But despite this, the INTP takes his responsibility as a parent very seriously. He will do everything in his power to make his children grow up to be independent adults, as well as have a lot of fun and enjoyment in their childhood.

The INTP may face a problem in meeting the emotional needs of his children. Although he is a giving and devoted parent, he has trouble finding the emotional signals and requests from his children. The INTP's children will remember their father as respectful, loyal, fair, and tolerant. Although it did not appear clearly and permanently.

ISFJ as a parent:

The ISFJ sees parenting as a natural duty. The ISFJ will provide the basic practical needs of his children, and will try to teach them rules and observations that will help them grow up and be independent and responsible children in society.

The ISFJ may have trouble imposing punishments and disciplining his children, although he may be able to overcome this if he feels that instilling values and morals in his children is the first priority in his relationship with them. Because he is a person who values order and arrangement, he often creates boundaries and roles that govern his relationship with his children and they act within them.

The ISFJ will feel remorse if one of his children grows up to be an adult but is not a good person or has a lot of problems, because the ISFJ believes that he is the reason, because he did not put in enough effort and did not work hard in raising that son. That may be true or it may be false, but it doesn't matter. The ISFJ usually puts in a lot of effort and time, and does not give himself credit for those efforts.

In many ways, the ISFJ is the ideal parent. His children will not lack order, guidelines, tenderness or encouragement. The children remember their father, the ISFJ, as being affectionate by nature and putting in a lot of effort for the benefit of his children.

The ISFP as a Parent:

The ISFP enjoys the role of fatherhood or motherhood and is very proud of his children. In particular, this begins with the care and care of the infant, followed by the formation of a bond and relationship from his children's early years. He is a permissive father and often does not demand high, specific achievements or productivity expectations from his children. He will gently guide the behavior of his children and will suggest that they follow the path that he deems best, but he will not impose his opinion on them and will not be demanding because, by the nature of his personality, he respects their privacy. It is common for an ISFP to treat his children as individuals and encourage them to fulfill their roles in the family.

The ISFP loves to enjoy his time and lives in the present moment. It can be said that inside every ISFP is a young child. The ISFP would love to have his children participate in playing. His love for the beauty of nature and animals leads him to prefer taking his children to play outside the house and in the fresh air.

An ISFP is unlikely to create a structured environment for his children. He may also have trouble punishing or disciplining his children. The ISFP's gentleness and childish heart make it difficult for him to do what might upset others, especially his children. But order and discipline are essential for raising a child. Here, the ISFP's husband must be considered if he is the type who can impose order and discipline or punish and discipline if necessary. Combining the characteristics of the spouses will help in raising children. But if the husband is not able to carry out these tasks, meaning that neither spouse has the skill to impose discipline or punish the children, then in this case the parents must be careful. Children do not have sufficient experience that qualifies them to make the right decisions or distinguish between right and wrong. They need barriers and guidance to be able to make the right decision.

The ISFP prefers to express love through actions, not words, and this is represented in much of what the ISFP does for his children. He will prefer to give them a gift, or take them on a tour or to a place for a picnic, rather than express his feelings to them.

The ISFP has a serviceable personality, and he evaluates himself by the degree to which he brings happiness to people's hearts. This is the nature of people with emotional personalities. The potential problem with this side of the ISFP is that he does not express his needs and feelings. All of them make the ISFP in some cases neither appreciated nor thanked for the services he provides to people. If this happens to an ISFP repeatedly, it may make him an angry and prejudiced person. Because he sees himself as a victim, he may put up barriers with people who do not appreciate or thank him for his services. This could be a big problem if it occurs between the ISFP, father or mother, and his children when he feels that his children do not appreciate the efforts and work, he does for them. The best solution to avoid this problem is for the ISFP to try to accustom himself to speaking and requesting his needs.

The ISFP, father or mother, will be a loyal, devoted, and sacrificial parent to his children until the children become independent. When the children become independent, the ISFP will be happy to spend time alone and perform the work he loves. His children will remember him with pride and pride.

ISTJ as parent:

The ISTJ is a loyal and devoted father in raising his children, starting from their childhood until they become adults capable of managing their affairs on their own. In order for the ISTJ to be able to do this, the ISTJ will do everything possible so that his children appreciate the values and customs with which he was raised and in which the ISTJ believes. Once the ISTJ becomes a father or mother, the responsibility will enter directly into his life, and he will accept the duties accompanying this responsibility with open arms. The ISTJ expects that his children will respect him for this, and the ISTJ will not be patient with the children’s behavior that shows a lack of respect for him.

When it comes to punishment, the ISTJ will have no problem imposing punishments on the children without feeling remorse. He believes that one of his duties is to show the right path to his children and force them to follow it, and for the work of this ISTJ, he puts his parental duties before his feelings and emotions towards his children. On the contrary, the ISTJ will often not praise his children for the good work they do, as praise is a nature that the ISTJ does not do. Rather, he must be constantly reminded to praise and thank.

The ISTJ provides a moderate and safe environment for raising children, with clear laws and regulations explained to them. This may cause a problem with compatibility with children during adolescence, when there is a distinction between the duties and roles of father and son. But in the end, this will lead the children to live and reach adulthood safely, and the children will remember their fathers in the future and acknowledge that the father was doing his best and putting the children’s interests before his own, so that the children could have a healthy and good upbringing.

ISTP as Parent:

The ISTP is a flexible, non-strict, non-controlling parent who likes to deal with things as they arise. His hatred of being controlled or controlled by someone extends to his children. He will give them a lot of freedom and space to grow and grow as responsible individuals. But when the subject requires imposing discipline, the ISTP will be able to manage it and impose it with ease. He will not be enthusiastic about disciplining his children, but as soon as the children need discipline, the ISTP will do it.

The ISTP often creates distance between himself and his children. He does not feel an urgent need to transmit values and ethics to his children or influence their decisions. The ISTP is likely to delegate his wife to take charge of dealing with the children and providing them with an appropriate and organized environment. The ISTP does not like to direct or control others, and this is the case with his children. The ISTP often tries to evade matters of family life and does not make any effort to intervene or show his interest.

The ISTP will enjoy spending time with his children, but each son at a time, and will prefer outdoor activities such as fishing, for example. In these special times with each of his children, the ISTP will get to know his son and his views, and during these times the ISTP will talk about his views and interests.
