Parenting A Manifestor: stewarding children according to their Human Design (new series)
A big aspect of parenting the next generation consciously will involve considering their unique energetic blueprint as explained by Human Design
I personally haven’t come across many detailed examples of how we might steward our children according to their Human Design; according to their true nature.
After a recent conversation with a friend who is well versed in Human Design and the mother of a Manifestor, I decided to initiate a free series with podcast-length audio notes detailing the various nuances of raising the different energy types.
I begin the series with Parenting A Manifestor.
Being a Manifestor myself, I recall how “strange” I felt growing up attending a conventional school, being parented in “conventional” (if I can even call it that) ways and in many respects feeling like such an outsider in life. I now understand that much of that feeling of disconnection was for a couple of reasons:
As a Manifestor, I had a closed aura. So connecting to people was an unusual experience and especially so because;
As a child, the feedback about my “impact” as a Manifestor, was mostly negative. So I quickly learned to contort my true nature into something inauthentic.
The consequence of not being raised according to the Manifestor’s design is that their interpersonal skills can become compromised. They thrive in positions of leadership, autonomy and spaciousness to operate on their own timeline. When this isn’t honoured, the Manifestor is bewildered when it comes to relating to others - even if on the outside they appear confident, on the inside they may feel a deep sense of separateness and purposelessness.
What I’m about to say has no intent to be disrespectful to my mother - a hard, working single mum, she was always doing her very best. And, it was so annoying to me anytime she “tried” to “raise” me. Ra Uru Hu, Human Design’s channeler says that Manifestor children already know the difference between right and wrong. I knew from a very young age that there was something unholy about the dysfunction and violence that textured my early imprinting. The unfortunate part is that even though I knew what was right, wrong, unfair, unjust, or complete nonsense, I like all children had a deep need to be LOVED and so, like all children, was susceptible to programming that was deeply unsupportive to my nature, but allowed me to survive on the love crumbs of my childhood.
To the Manifestor child, the attempts by others to control their behaviour feels abhorrent to them. Not to mention the impact that negative labelling can have on the Manifestor child. For example, many will be told to “stop being bossy” rather than being celebrated for their innate leadership skills.
Manifestor children need their parents to be curious about their nature, be open to parenting in a wildly unique way - likely walking a path nobody has really seen before in many respects. The Manifestor child requires a great deal of encouragement to take action on their urges and visions no matter how avant-garde they may seem. This is because unlike the majority of other children, Manifestors won’t see themselves “mirrored” back necessarily.
