How to raise healthy, happy, responsible children using the insights of Personality Type

By Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger

Children are not all the same. Any parent of more than one child knows how different from each other children, even siblings, can be. So, it's only natural that the parenting strategies that work with one child may be less effective - or totally backfire - with another.

• Truly individualizes the parenting process

• Helps you identify your child's distinct Personality Type

• Reduces the number and intensity of conflicts between you and your child.

• Helps you adapt your parenting style to more effectively communicate, support, motivate, and discipline your child

• Deepens and improves the quality of your relationship

"A great book. I only wish I had it when my children were young!"

"This book has been a very big help for my wife and me. With the easy to follow guidelines, we've been able to understand our son much better. The book lists the different personality types as they age from babies to teenagers. It has even helped me understand my childhood and the troubles I had as a teenager. If only I had known my personality type then. Do yourself and your kids a huge favor, BUY THIS BOOK!"

"When I got the book in the mail and opened it up to ENTP I immediately read it to my husband and we were in hysterics. We've been calling him "The Negotiator," and the heading under ENTP was "Everything's Negotiable." There were about ten full pages on the ENTP temperament, from infancy up through the teen years. I'm also an ENTP and it rang true. It was simply amazing how true it all was. I now feel a bit more prepared in that I have an idea about what to expect in future years."

"After reading NURTURE BY NATURE, I recommended it to every parent with whom I came in contact. I was amazed at the accuracy of the profiles of each one of my children. My husband and I spent more time laughing and wondering if the authors had somehow sneaked in and observed our family! I came away from the book with a deeper understanding of type and the recognition that each one of us is wired in a different way, and each type has something to contribute to this world. This book is an extraordinarily valuable tool in parenting and understanding the children in one's life."

"This is absolutely the best parenting book I have ever read. Even though I thought I knew my 5-year-old inside and out, I was amazed to work through this book and discover some personality traits of his that I wasn't aware of. This has helped bring some understanding into the "why" he does things a certain way (like insists on wearing only Osh Kosh socks, because they're the only one's that FEEL right) and also has helped me become more patient and understanding in certain situations, now that I know where he is coming from. I enjoyed this book so much, and believe in it's potential ability to help others become better parents and friends to their children, that I am setting up "classes" at my work to help others work through the book."
