Kidwheels: Understanding the Child in the Chart

by Cornelia Hansen

Why is it that some children sail through school with no problem at all, while others find it a difficult or unhappy experience? And why do some children develop behavioural problems while others don't? Cornelia Hansen believes that each child is unique and needs special management in order to thrive. While working on a Master's Degree in Child Development, Cornelia was introduced to a longitudinal study done in the Fifties on temperament in children. At the time, she was also studying astrology and the idea came to her that she might be able to connect the child development study to astrology. After all, hadn't the concept of temperament been with us from ancient times? Isn't it still part of analyzing someone's natal chart?
The modern concept of temperament as being the cause of individual differences which appear at birth and continue over time has been widely accepted in the field of child development and appears in every child development textbook. In this pioneering study of temperament in children and young people, Cornelia examines copious case histories from her experience as a marriage, family and child therapist; with the welfare of the child firmly at the heart of the birth chart, she searches for ways to help parents understand their offspring better - and thus achieve a good outcome for everyone. Ideal for anyone working with children in the classroom, or in any capacity, this book will help parents, carers and teachers to discern the individual needs of a child that will enable them to flourish in the classroom and beyond.

This book is short but the culmination of years of research! I was fortunate enough to take Cornelia's course with Kepler College, and get a much deeper understanding of the material covered here. This is an easy introduction to temperament, and if you have kids/know kids/have friends with kids, this could be a great resource for understanding how to help those kids best feel supported, safe, and loved.

If you’re a parent wanting to better understand your children, this is a great book for you. It’s easy to follow but highly informative about child psychology. I’ve been recommending it to my students and clients, struggling with their children.

I would have enjoyed this more if it gave clearer delineation structures rather than advising the reader to read xyz books for that information.
Was disappointed to realise I'm already a bad mum 😔 (2.9yr old and 8mth old) based on the moon aspects. 🤦‍♀️😓
Sorry kids..I tried my best.
