5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Parents, March 26, 2002

By	Sharon Myers (Huntsville, AL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Different Children, Different Needs: Understanding the Unique Personality of Your Child (Paperback)

I am really enjoying this book. I say enjoying instead of enjoyed because it is a great reference for me. I have four kids and each child is TOTALLY different. This book has been an eye-opener to help me cater to each on according to their individual needs. This book is an easy read and very spiritual. I've been recommending it to every parent that I know who has more than one child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource to have in your family library!, September 21, 1999

By	J. Hegerty "Ithreesons" (Worthington, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Super book to read and discuss with other families. I covered this book in parenting seminars and have found it to be a great reference. The book contains easy surveys to complete that will enable you to understand what makes each family member tick. It gives numerous suggestions on curtailing you parenting techniques to each child's personality. I have found the way Charlie writes and explains in detail easy to understand and identify with as a parent and a professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here's a key to a difficult child's heart!, August 31, 2001

By	Jim Danielson (Liberty, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Different Children, Different Needs: Understanding the Unique Personality of Your Child (Paperback)

This book will help you understand that different personalities aren't right or wrong, they are just different.
Using the DISC personality profile descriptions this easy to understand book can help you re-open closed communication lines with your child who is different than you in action, thought, and deed.
It's as simple as starting by asking yourself is he/she "slow-paced" or "fast-paced", "task-oriented" or "people-oriented"? I'm an associate pastor in a large church. Our children's minister is planning to use this book with teachers and parents. Her quote is, "Why should we wait until we are over 40 years old to understand this stuff?"
