Those with the child archetype love to explore, experiment and play open-endedly. They hold the courage to step into the unknown and create with any and all types of medium – nothing is off-limits for the child and are often multi-disciplinary or multi-talented creators.
Sensitivity can be their downfall as they often choose to listen to others as authority figures and as a result, can stifle their true creativity rather than seeking their own internal authority and validation at all times and ultimately reach more outrageously magical creativity. Their fantasy and imagination can also be used as a form of escapism from trauma which can lead to a reluctance to bring their work tangibly into the world if they feel it is not ‘safe’ to do.
They can come across as distracted dreamers and may need support to allow them to focus their attention in order to follow through with their creative process or risk having many half-started and abandoned projects laying in their wake.
