As parents, Advocates (INFJs) tend to look at their relationships with their
children as opportunities to learn and grow with someone they care
about. These personality types also work to achieve another important
goal: raising their children to be independent and all-around good
people.
At the same time, Advocate personalities may also push their children to
r
think independently,Profile

beliefs. Depending on the child’s developmental stage and temperament,
they might find these expectations confusing or stressful – even though
their Advocate parents have the best of intentions.
Advocate parents want to raise children who are ethical, creative, and
kind.
If all this independence is taken to heart, it can cause some trouble for
Advocate parents as their children move into the more rebellious phase
of adolescence. This is especially true if their children choose beliefs that
go against their values as Advocate parents. In this situation, Advocates
may feel as if their children are criticizing or rejecting them – a hurtful
thing to such a sensitive personality type.
Advocates strive to make sure that their children grow up with a firm
understanding of the difference between right and wrong. Parents with

might be, Advocates can find a great deal of fulfillment and meaning
simply in helping their children learn to be true to themselves.
