As a wife and mom of 5 I've been a student of temperaments for years. I've read excellent material on the topic. Susan Crook's presentation of the DISC personality styles is one of the most comprehensive, encouraging, and accurate books available. As parents we are to be students of our children, observing them, understanding their particular strentghs and weaknesses, what motivates them or hinders their development. Studying temperament theories is such a practical means of accomplishing this goal. It's also fun, interesting, and exciting to recognize how our individual characteristics can contribute to our childrens lives in beneficial ways and possible areas of conflict and ineffectiveness we need to be alert to. The understanding of temperament is not limited to family relationships but can easily become some of the most useful knowledge to apply in all our interactions with others. The insights you gain will be invaluable.

After reading this book I have a better understanding of my child's personality and have learned the tools to help better myself as a mother. Children don't come with a manual and with having a 2 year old I found this book to have given me and my husband direction. I recommend to anyone with children to read this book!

I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was full of real-life examples, information, and illustrations that made it easy and fun to learn about the different personality styles. The author gave a variety of practical strategies that have already helped me communicate with and relate to others more effectively in everyday situations. It's a great "how to" book that any family can truly benefit from. I've already bought several copies for my family and friends, and HIGHLY recommend it!!!

This book is absolutely wonderful! It's perfect for any mom of any age but it is especially helpful for moms that have a child with a totally different personality than themselves. It helped me to understand and appreciate my child that has a different energy level and different interests than my own. I have used the stategies for working with different personalities in my work place as well. It has really helped me to extend my patience for others knowing we are all created differently and more importantly, to value their strengths.
