How to Treat Children According to Their Design
Generator Children
Generator children are naturally responsive and need to be encouraged to pay attention to their response. Generator children make non-verbal sounds that indicate a positive, a negative, or sometimes a neutral response to everything that they encounter. Teach your generator child to act only in response to being asked or presented with something, and to act only when the response is clearly positive or negative. Help him or her be aware of these responsive sounds and their associated meanings. Some sounds mean “yes” and other sounds mean “no”. Do not force a generator child to say the words “yes” or “no” in place of his or her natural grunts and groans. They can be taught to be polite after learning to attend to their natural response, but not before. Parents of generator children must be willing to take “no” for an answer when they ask their generator child a yes/no question. It is healthy for a generator child to be able to say “no”.

Projector Children
Projector children need to be recognized and appreciated for who they are. They need to be invited to experiment, to explore and to experience a variety of things in life. Some projector children will not accept many of the invitations that are offered. They will say ‘no’. An invitation is an invitation and not a command and so accepting that ‘no’ or negotiating that ‘no’ is dependent on the skill and tolerance of the parent. Parents of projector children benefit from more knowledge of their child’s design in order to appreciate the child’s talents and vulnerabilities, and to help the child learn to know which invitations are “good” invitations and which ones are not.
Manifestor Children
Manifestor children are the most difficult for parents. They are not naturally controllable because they know that they can ‘just do it’ themselves without help from anyone. Manifestor children need to be taught to ask permission. The parents need to not unreasonably deny the child’s requests so that trust builds between the parent and the child. Otherwise, the child will stop asking permission and just do what they want to anyway. These children need to be treated politely so that they learn to treat others politely in return. Help your manifestor child to understand that his or her actions have a strong impact on others. The child can then learn to inform those who will be impacted by his or her actions which, in turn, keeps relationships running more smoothly.
Reflector Children
The reflector child is the barometer for the whole family. If the reflector child is crying, someone in the family is sad or emotionally down. If the reflector child is laughing and skipping along, those around him or her are feeling good. The reflector child reflects everything that is in the environment around them. In school, they want to sit in the middle of the circle. It is their natural place. NEVER rush a reflector child to decide anything. They need a lot of time, a whole month, before they can know if something is right for them or not. Parents need to learn patience to be able to allow this child the time he or she needs to reflect on things.

Children have the capacity to quickly grasp their design
Ra Uru Hu states: "I have been doing readings for many children. I have always been involved in teaching young people and as a parent am deeply concerned with the healthy development of my own children. Human Design and its basic truths and values are not limited to adults. Children have the capacity to quickly grasp their Design.
I have recorded a basic introduction to the Rave Chart and its Body Graph specifically for children. Ideally, this is best for children in their second Saturn quarter between 7.5 to 15 years old. The language and tone is geared to the middle of this age group. Give a child you know and love a special gift: their own Design and a guide to help them begin to explore it themselves".
