The True Winter Child

October 27, 2009

When people learn about the relationship between body colouring and character, many feel uncomfortable. They wonder if this line of thought qualifies as racist. Regardless of how much truth it may contain, the purpose is not to show that any type is superior or inferior to any other. Everybody is needed and welcome.

Think of it as a horoscope and nothing more than that. It can be a curiosity. Buy into it as much as you want, or not at all. For many, the association between colour and personality is a matter of fact.

Children are unguarded in showing, and using, their personality. There is no artifice in how they show, and use, their character.

The True Summer child, article here, is never the discipline problem. She is angelic. She also takes 3 hours to clean off one shelf because she gets caught up in every book and knick-knack.

The True Spring Child, here, is here for the party. This child will make you laugh. He can talk about anything and will play every game.

Ah, The True Winter Child. Recognize anyone?

The drama and the trauma. Will not be controlled by parents, siblings, or anyone else.
The power and the glory. Emotionally brutal. Can be ruthlessly determined adults as well, but oh, so sensitive when it’s their turn.
Most likely to ride on the Children’s Camp float in the Old Home Week parade. Will ask why they can’t have a float of their own. Made for show biz.
May appear cool and detached, but often besieged with worry and insecurity. Very concerned about what others think of them. A season of inward contrasts (to match the outward contrasts in their body colouring and best clothing).
The opposite of nurturing. It’s all about them. Ask her how her hair turned out today and she’ll tell you, for half an hour. Won’t notice if you have hair or not.

Physically interesting to watch. Will choose furs, sparkles, satin, diamonds, you get the idea. Stock up on glitter. Boys look very good in dark suits and are born ready for Broadway. Strike statue poses just buttering toast.
May shy away from being noticed, but performs amazingly well once on stage. They’re used to being looked at, almost expect it.
If she’s suffering, you’ll know about it. She has the power and she’s taking you down with her. The True Winter husband is much the same.
Have high expectations of what others should take from them (as opposed to the Summers who have high expectations of what others should expect of themselves). And everything is your fault because they’re never wrong.
Intensely creative. So perfectionist that they get in their own way.

To go along with this, Winter’s Jewelry at 12 Blueprints.

Hi again, this is absolutely true of my sister-in-law who is a Winter! She fights like hell with my husband who is a Summer. Well now they are both older it’s better and learning to like each other as well as love (which I know they do and say it) but understand? Well no, they are just so different and just as described here with uncanny accuracy. Where does this information come from, your own analysis or scientific stuff, sorry if I missed that part somewhere. Also, didn’t see anything about Autumn, which is me, so will you do something on us soon please? Fascinating stuff!

Hi, Trisha,

A lot of the personality association with season has been written about by many colourists (Bernice Kentner, Irenee Riter, and others). I live with a True Winter husband and teenager, and a True Summer teenager. I see the same script being read by the same people every day before my eyes. But I absolutely agree, it is fascinating. Autumn may take me some time because I don’t know any young Autumn people. All the other Children articles just come from my own life.
