How to Parent a Phlegmatic Child: Do’s & Don’ts for Raising Easygoing, Relationship-Focused Kids

Ever have a child who’s so calm, obedient, and easygoing that you almost forget they need attention too? If so, you may be parenting a phlegmatic child! These kids are peaceful, relationship-focused, and deeply empathetic, but they can also struggle with motivation, assertiveness, and passivity.

In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, we’re covering:
✅ What phlegmatic children value most and what triggers them
✅ The biggest mistakes parents and teachers make with quiet, compliant kids
✅ Practical strategies to build their confidence, decision-making, and assertiveness
✅ How to engage them in challenges without overwhelming them

Phlegmatic kids might not demand attention like other temperaments, but they need just as much intentional formation. This episode will help you support and guide them in a way that nurtures their unique gifts while helping them step outside their comfort zone.
