Product Description
All kids are not the same, and neither are their parents. How can all of you get along? Dynamic speaker and best-selling author Florence Littauer uses the proven principles from her popular Personality Plus (over one million copies sold) to show parents how to raise their children individually and take cues from each child's inborn temperament and personality.

Readers will immediately be drawn in as Littauer dispels the myth that all children should be treated the same. The bottom line for successful child raising? Identify and understand your child's personality so he or she feels loved, respected, and supported as an individual. Readers will learn how to:

€ easily determine personality types
€ immediately apply practical insights
€ understand how to best parent each child
€ increase parenting capabilities
€ bring harmony into their homes

This complete how-to guide gives readers everything they need-personality questionnaires and profiles, principles of interaction for each parent/child personality combination, and quick reference charts.

About the Author
The popular author of numerous books, including the best-selling Personality Plus, Florence Littauer has taught leadership seminars for twenty-five years and is the president of CLASS Speakers, Inc. She and her husband, Fred, travel internationally conducting seminars and retreats. Littauer lives in Cathedral City, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN, April 17, 2003
By A Customer
This book is EXCELLENT. Every parent needs to read it.
I have 5 children and this book has helped me so much to see
what makes my children different, and has enabled me to accept
them just as they are. Just one example-my third son has always seemed to be lazy. He is just not motivated to work. I used to worry that I was raising a lazy adult but this book showed me that he is a phlegmatic, and phlegmatics tend to be that way! They find the shortest way to do things and are unmotivated to get their work done. I now understand my little guy and why he is like he is-I can accept him as living according to his temperament. I could give several other examples.
This book is practical in that it lists the strengths and weaknesses of each temperament and gives ideas for parents on how to raise their children according to how they are. I loved that it pairs up the different combinations of parents and children.
I could go on and on but suffice it to say that I read the book in just a couple of days and learned so much that it's changed the way I relate to my children. I even learned much about me and also about my husband.
It's a fascinating, practical, life-changing book. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Now I'm off to read her book for adults, "Personality Plus". :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Personality Plus for Parents, March 3, 2006
This book is timeless in its content and applicable to all ages of parents/grandparents and children/grandchildren. The book includes a profile to help you establish the personalities of each child/parent and then offers natural characteristics of each personality and how they interact with one another. You will find the strengths and weaknesses of each one and how to work out the struggles that accompany those characteristics. I have personally used this book over and over to help me understand my own children and grandchildren. In addition, as a retreat speaker,a MOPS speaker, and a presenter at parenting seminars, this book is the focus of my presentations. After people buy this book and read it, I receive calls to have one-on-one conversations to help guide them in better relationships with their child/children. This book is truly a gift to parents in helping them understand how their child functions and how they can reinforce the strengths and help overcome the weaknesses. Read it and find a new relationship with your child/grandhild.

5.0 out of 5 stars this book has helped me more than any other parenting book, September 27, 2005
By Jo (Ca.) - See all my reviews
I disagree with the reviewer below. This book explains why kids act the way they do, it doesn't excuse their behavior or give them a license to sin because of it.
I understand my children SO much better than before I read this book. They all know their temperaments and they can spot others' temperaments right away. This helps us understand people. It has helped me understand my husband where I didn't in almost 20 years of marriage. I understand my sister and where she used to offend me now I realize she just tends to be flaky. :)
I could say so much about this book. I truly think every parent should read it. I like the one for adults as well.
Last but not least this book even helped me understand myself.
To me this book isn't unbiblical. It helped me in all good ways. I know how to specifically pray for my children and them understanding why they are prone to do the things they do or feel the way they feel....it's all good. I can't say enough good things about this book.
