The Child Archetype

The Child Archetype

We have all been children and spent a large proportion of our lives in childhood. As you may realise we also slip back into these old patterns of behaviours and responses and behave enthusiastically (light) and/or childishly (shadow) in adulthood.  However you responded to pain and rejection as a child you may respond differently now in adulthood.

The ‘now’ is what counts. The following archetype is extremely helpful for parenting your children. Even more importantly, your version of the shadow child will alert you to the fact that you’re self-rejecting, hurt and asking for support and parenting in a manner that guarantees rejection.
