In this episode of Mama, Let’s Talk, we gently close out the Enneagram parenting series with Enneagram Type Nine, the Peacemaker child. Often labeled “the easy one,” Type Nine kids are empathetic, adaptable, and deeply relational. But beneath their calm exterior is a rich inner world shaped by a core fear of conflict, disconnection, and being overlooked. This episode walks parents through how Type Nine traits show up across childhood, adolescence, and teen years. Along the way, we unpack why avoidance, indecision, and emotional numbing are actually protective strategies rooted in a nervous system wired for harmony. Most importantly, this episode offers grounded, compassionate tools: calming phrases, real-life scenarios, discipline strategies, and a simple repair ritual that teaches Type Nine kids they don’t have to disappear to keep the peace. When parents learn how to slow the moment, invite their child’s voice, and hold boundaries with warmth, Type Nines don’t lose their peace, they grow into grounded, confident, quietly powerful humans who know they can be honest and belong.
