In this post, I will be summarizing chapter 16, pages 243-256, of "The Wisdom of Your Child's Face" by Jean Haner, where the author provides insights into how parents can better understand and support their child's unique personality based on their facial features specifically the role of ears.

The concept of Chinese face reading suggests that every year of a child's life is represented by a point on their face, with major features representing approximately one decade. The face is believed to reflect the individual's current state, with yin periods (Rivers) being inward-looking and yang periods (Mountains) being more outward-directed, each lasting around ten years. The Rivers are the soft areas that tend to have some moisture: the ears, hairline, eyes, and mouth. The Mountains are those bony, protruding features: the forehead, nose, chin, and jaw.

These periods can be read on the face, but they do not guarantee that bad things will happen during challenging times, nor that good times will be altogether joyful. Instead, the purpose is to help prepare children for whatever comes their way as they walk their paths as adults. Let’s start by getting a general overview of your child’s terrain—his or her personal Rivers and Mountains.

To determine the time of conception through birth, examine the top of the ear where it connects to the side of the head, and check the left ear for boys and the right ear for girls. Any unusual markings such as dents, holes, or bumps in this area may indicate something that happened during this time, likely due to the mother's stress during pregnancy. Changes along the edge of the ear can reveal information about a child's later childhood, with a narrow edge indicating a time when the child felt unsupported or experienced a sense of loss. Each year correlates to approximately a half inch of the edge of the ear.

The length of the thinned area on the ear reveals the duration of a difficult situation, with half an inch indicating a year or less. Sometimes the mark may appear a year after the actual event occurred, as the changes caused by it may take time to manifest. The ear may also be marked in advance of a stressful event, such as a divorce, indicating high levels of anger and discomfort in the household. An unusually thin rim of the ear may indicate a phase of childhood with little support, which could be caused by various factors such as poverty or a tumultuous household.

A notch in the ear's helix indicates a one-time occurrence that happened in the year indicated on the map. This event could be an illness, injury, or sudden event that happened and was over. On some ears, a portion of the rim is pressed down, which indicates a period of suppression during those years. This could suggest growing up in a strict household, and this marking is seen in extreme cases in adults who grew up in oppressive homes, resulting in a suppressed spirit.

Observing the marks on a child's ear can provide insights into their past experiences and how they might impact their choices. A bumpy area on the rim of the ear signifies ups and downs, while a large bump or thicker area can have a positive meaning. A dark freckle or flat mole can indicate something significant happening at the age indicated on the ear map. A natural hole in the ear can be the mark of a healer, but if it's on or near a point on the rim, it represents major stress. Any indentation, scar, wrinkle, spot, or discoloration on the ear rim can indicate stress. It's important to note that markings usually indicate everyday challenges, not dramatic events. Knowing about potential stressors in advance can help parents prepare and support their children through difficult times.
