5.0 out of 5 stars great resource!, August 10, 2004

By	V. Zilinsky "co-owner of www.raisingourkids.com" (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We live our whole childhood trying to figure out who we really are, and now there is a book to help our kids explore their personalities even deeper. It contains 40 fun and easy-to-follow psychological tests that offer a wide range of insights into a child's personality. At the end of the book, there is a summary sheet to tie together all the results in a nice and easy to understand manner. This is a great book for parents to share with their grade-school kids, and the best thing about these tests is that there are NO WRONG ANSWERS!!

3.0 out of 5 stars not what I hoped, November 8, 2002

By	"mommyteacherartfan" (MO) - See all my reviews

This book does have a lot of self-discovery experiments- in fact that's pretty much all it has. There isn't much information included to validate the experiments or to explain why they are significant to psychology. However, the book does refer you to other sources. I ordered the book, hoping to use it with my High School Gifted class but found that the text was a bit too juvenille. This book could be a good supplement to a psychology unit, but it is not something from which to teach.
