Parenthood
ENTJs’ homes are very organized and run efficiently. They always take their parenting role very seriously, and constantly put their child’s needs before their own. They expect their children’s respect, and to follow the house’s rules and expectations. ENTJ parents enjoy feeling completely in charge of situations, making it clear to their children what is expected of them. When their children do not obey, ENTJs have no problem reprimanding/punishing their children. Because ENTJs like being in charge, the teen years are usually the most difficult for ENTJ parents and their children. Particularly difficult children may rebel or lash out, and ENTJ parents may have a difficult time letting go. ENTJ parents must remind themselves that sometimes they need to sit back and let their children grow into becoming independent and responsible.
Although they like overseeing everything, ENTJ parents are still great at helping their children learn and develop. They look for ways to promote education and independent thinking in their children. They usually pass on their desire for success to their children, and children of ENTJs are rarely lazy!
