This book totally changed the way I viewed each of my children. In fact, I think it's time I read through it again.When my oldest was two, he drove me crazy with his bossiness and his involvement in everyone's business. He was demanding, confrontational with other children, and often had trouble in social situations. He never obeyed and often ran off on his own. Now he's twelve, nothing much had changed, except that I read this book and realized he's just who God made him to be.
And there's a profile in this book that fits him like a glove. It helped me to understand the places in where my son would soar and excel. Here's a glimpse of the table of contents.
Helping Your Child Fly
Finding Places Where Your Child Soars
Unleashing the Power that Keeps Your Child Soaring
Understanding How Fast and How long your Child Can Fly
Understanding How Your Child Works with Others
Dusting Off Discipine and Helping Your Child Find the Right Skies
Helping Your Child Navigate Treacherous Skies
Putting Your Child in the Best Possible Position to Learn
Wow! After reading those great chapters, I really DO need to go read this again. And maybe this time I'll pick up the workbook.
One downside to this book is that it's out of print and you have to search around on ebay or Amazon. I was lucky enough to discover this on a discount book table!

Wow! Sounds like a great book. What ages is it for?
Tasra, I guess it's for any age. Tough it's hard to define your child's personality until they're about four or five. Still you can see trends in your child's behavior and hopefully gain some insight into their personality and how to parent them.
This sounds like a great book. I am really struggling with one of my twins right now. I think I will look for this book. Thanks for sharing.
