ESTP kids are movers, doers, and thrill-seekers. Known for their charisma, quick reflexes, and love for excitement, they thrive when they can learn by doing rather than sitting still. In this episode, we break down the ESTP’s cognitive functions—Extraverted Sensing (Se), Introverted Thinking (Ti), Extraverted Feeling (Fe), and Introverted Intuition (Ni)—and show how these influence their strengths, struggles, and motivations at every age. You’ll learn:

• How to work with their impulsive nature, not against it
• Why consequences need to be immediate and physical
• What kinds of careers and paths this type thrives in
• How to guide them without turning everything into a battle

This type is a live wire of potential—when parents understand their wiring, they can help their ESTP build self-discipline and purpose without losing their sense of fun.

Wendy Gossett helps parents understand their children by using temperament psychology and neuroscience. She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master’s degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids. Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast.

Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography.

Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!
