Learn more about and understand the preferences of each family member.

Each family is unique, made up of individuals with their own strengths, preferences and dynamics. Yet natural differences between members can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or tensions. The ActionTypes® approach provides a valuable means of improving communication while strengthening family ties, helping to better understand each other’s motor and cognitive dynamics.

By identifying natural preferences, this method helps to better understand behaviours, enhance individual strengths and create lasting harmony in the home.

1. Why is it essential to understand family dynamics?

In a family, interactions are influenced by, among other things:

• Motor preferences: The way each person acts or moves.
• Cognitive preferences: The way in which people process information and make decisions.
• Modes of interaction: Some prefer silent reflection, while others prefer action or discussion.
• …

When these differences are not understood, they may include but are not limited to:

• Lead to frustration or misunderstanding.
• Limiting exchanges, communication and cohesion.
• Curbing the development of family members.
• …

The benefits of better understanding may include:

• Strengthen mutual listening and respect.
• Foster fluid and positive interactions.
• Reduce conflict and create a harmonious environment.
• …

“We had trouble understanding why our child seemed to be losing interest in family discussions. ActionTypes® showed us that he just had a different way of interacting. It changed our vision and communication.” – A parent.

 

2. Identify each member’s natural preferences

The ActionTypes® approach allows you to discover your individual’s unique motor and cognitive preferences, including:

• Natural patterns of functioning: how each person acts and reacts in different situations.
• Flow zones: Activities or interactions in which everyone feels comfortable.
• Potential sources of tension: Identify differences that may lead to misunderstandings.
• …

Concrete example: A family with two children

In a family, the eldest son prefers calm and structured activities, while the youngest is more spontaneous and energetic. Understanding, among others, these dynamics:

• Parents have adjusted their expectations to meet each other’s preferences.
• Tensions around homework and activities have decreased.
• …

The result is a more relaxed family atmosphere and stronger relationships.

 

3. Practical applications in everyday life

The ActionTypes® approach is easy to integrate into family life, including:

• Improve communication: Adapt the tone and pace of exchanges to suit each person’s preferences.
• Strengthen cooperation: Distribute family tasks according to areas of fluidity and interest.
• Support individual development: Encourage each member to express their natural strengths.
• …

Case study: A blended family

In a composite family, differences in communication styles among members led to frequent misunderstandings. After an ActionTypes® analysis:

• Each member has discovered his or her natural preferences.
• Parents have adapted their way of interacting with children.
• The result is better cohesion and fewer conflicts in everyday life.
