Personality Plus for Parents: Understanding What Makes Your Child Tick Paperback – September 1, 2000

I enjoyed this book very much. I felt that it helped me to pinpoint and better understand some of my children's personality traits, even though they are quite young (two and four). I especially appreciated learning some specific techniques for parenting my children's different personality types. My sanguine son often seems an enigma to me, and I am frequently mystified by how sensitive and clingy my two year old is (he must say "mommy hold you" at least 500 times a day), but now I have a better understanding of why and how this melancholy/choleric mama can better nurture them both. I had already read Personality Plus (the original book), and I think that made this book more enriching and useful. On its own, it does not have nearly as much detail about the personality types. Also, if you want to understand how to help your child and show them love in the way that they most desire it, I think it is important to know your own personality type first. I would suggest these books in combination.

I am actually certified personality trainer. I use this book in every class. I have bought multiple copies over the years to give to friends because I know that it can help you absolutely understand your children! Not only that, but you will learn how your child’s personality blends or conflicts with your personality. This is the way to a happy family - buy this book.!

I have read Personality plus. And until I my daughter was born and raised up to a toddler I notice she was a Sanguine just like me. But I couldn't understand how to deal with that temperament as a child until this book came along. Now since I have read this book. This too open my eyes to a lot of this as a parent and now putting those things Into action, my daughter and I are like best friends now. Two peas in a pod. The mother is still pulling out her hair because she has not read the book as yet but I know once she read it, she too will understand. Love this book and will recommend it to anyone that deals with kids.

Book is excellent and an easy read! The only misleading thing is it said it was used and in good condition and this book is not , there’s hi-lited pages and liquid stains on several pages.

An easy read with tons of information and parenting help!

There are so many great ways of seeing personality and this book is a useful and concise guide. Maybe the most useful one that I have read... It was worth it to me to memorize parts of this book, so that I could think very carefully about my baby's unfolding personality. It amplifies awareness, compassion and respect. How much is that worth? It was worth far more than the $4 I paid for it. :)

I love the book! It was written in a way that is very easy to understand and very entertaining to read. The author used many actual stories to communicate her points and for me they are very very effectiveI have four children with different personalities and after reading the book, I understand my children better. I am actually telling my friends to get a copy too because I find the book very helpful and informative. :)
