4.0 out of 5 stars Great guide for helping your child thru the educ. system, December 15, 2000

By	Geoffrey F. Fountain "Geof" (Aiken, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a "right-brained" child, now 14, who has struggled in the classroom. Michael's book was extremely useful in helping me to understand the different learning styles and my child, as well as understanding the teaching culture and how it changes as a child goes through the primary, middle, and high school years. Michael has armed me with knowledge to communicate with teachers in a respectful way that has positively influenced their perception of my daughter and her learning differences. When I win a the lottery - :) - I will set up a foundation to fund teacher training by Michael. Since that probably won't happen, I hope to one day bring Michael's work to the southeast through our education foundation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for understanding where children are at, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

I found this book to be particularly useful in explaining how children end up out in the corridor with the teacher giving up on them. The way in which children learn is very important and Michael has done a great job in showing how children differ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaching to the child's style, May 16, 2009

This is the third or so copy I've owned of this book. I keep lending this to people and loosing it. Michael Grinder is the brother of John Grinder, co-founder of NLP studies.
One of the basic premises of NLP is that people have each their own unique way of receiving and processing information,
Michael Grinder shows how to identify the learning pattern of each kid and deliver the information in a way they can handle.
I have studied NlP with Richard Bandler,the other co-founder of NLP , and been a teacher of Adult Basic Reading and ESL and Botany and Math. When it comes to teaching kids, anything that helps is a good thing and this book is very helpful.
