Parent-child relationship strategies

In the case of an S (Sensitive) parent and an N (Intuitive) child, the dilemma worsens when the parent becomes an ES (Extroverted/Sensitive) type and the child becomes an IN (Introverted/Intuitive) type.
Children use their N-type imagination by thinking and drawing in their minds, but they have little inclination to express these thoughts through action.
Parents with an ES (Ethical Sense) personality type tend to prioritize actions and results.
An IN-type child says they want to go to university to study "new things" as an academic subject. Then, an ES-type parent tends to respond like this:
"I have no intention of paying tuition for something that doesn't benefit you."
In short, I'm against it unless it's for the purpose of getting a good job.
Try to imagine the frustration on both sides at that time.
Conversely, when the parent is N-type and the child is S-type, the parent responds with vague generalities, failing to satisfy the child's need for specific answers.
There's an old joke. When a child asks their parent, "Where did I come from?", an N-type parent starts telling the story of the stork, and the child replies:
"Wow, that was interesting, but Mary's from Chicago and Billy's from Buffalo. So where am I from?"
It's not funny at all when parents and children disagree on everything like this.
If children always seek specific answers or directions but only receive vague generalities, they will come to feel that their parents are of no help in navigating the real world.
Children with an S personality type often grow up feeling like they "don't understand anything."
To solve this,
"Was this the right answer?" or
"Did you understand what I was saying?" or
"Is this what you mean...?" I asked again.
The only way forward is for parents and children to understand each other through communication and eliminating any gaps in understanding.

To show through actions

S-type parents have a set direction they've decided on, but N-type children tend to use that direction as a springboard to soar into the realm of fantasy.
For example, when a parent tells a child to "clean their room," it's simply a matter of cleaning up, but a child with type N personality might end up playing with whatever they pick up first when they intend to clean up.
Later, when the parents peek into the room, expecting it to be mostly tidied up, they might find that nothing has changed, or even worse, it's become more cluttered than before due to new games.
In such cases, parents should accept the child's N-type personality and say, "Put the books on the bookshelf, and the toys in their boxes."
It's better to use more specific language that is less likely to cause distractions.
First of all, we should consider whether "tidying up one's room" is even appropriate for a child with blood type N.
Even if things are messy, each element might have meaning to the child.
Even if an S-type person perceives it as a "dirty room," an N-type person might see it as "a row of fascinating possibilities."
By the way, this isn't limited to just parents and children.
Generally speaking, S-type personalities are better at discarding things than N-type personalities.
For people with an N personality type, even seemingly useless objects can trigger various memories and ideas, making them worth keeping because they "might come in handy someday."
S-type says, "I haven't used it in years, so I don't need it anymore."
Type N individuals "know" that there will come a time when they regret throwing something away and wish they had kept it.
