Description: Every parent knows that children -- even babies -- have distinct personalities. In this landmark guide, Paul Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger provide an in-depth understanding of each different personality type -- and explain how to use this knowledge to become more effective parents.

Personality Type assessment is widely used by job counselors to help people select a career path -- a technique that the Tiegers have popularized in their 250,000-copy bestseller Do What You Are. Their new book -- the first-ever application of Personality Type assessment to child rearing -- promises to revolutionize how parents relate to toddlers, kids, and teens everywhere.

Drawing on seminars that they've held for hundreds of parents, the Tiegers explain how to recognize -- as early as age one -- which of' sixteen discrete personality types best matches a child's behavior. Then, in separate sections on three age groups -- preschool, school age, and adolescence -- they explain in detail how to better motivate, support, discipline, and communicate with children of each particular type.
