This book, which is written by the same couple who gave us The Temperament God gave you and the Temperament God gave your spouse, is a well-written and easily accessible read.
The information on the temperaments is easy to follow and set out in a logical progression which helps parents to recognise their children’s temperaments as well as understanding how that affects their behaviour. It also includes what affirmation and discipline styles are the most effective and helpful in dealing with them. Examples from real life parenting experience solidify the theory and help explain the temperaments in practical, every day terms.
Another very helpful aspect of this book is that it demonstrates how the temperaments of parents interact with the temperaments of their children and can help us all to avoid clashing with each other in the domestic environment.
I credit this book with the successful toilet training of my sanguine daughter – without it, I might have been pulling my hair out for months! I strongly recommend this to all parents who would like to parent more effectively.
