Outlined my daughter's temperment perfectly

This book was recommended to me by my daughter's (she's 3 now) neurological developmental pediatrician at Children's Hospital. I only regret that I just now read it.

Insightful, thoughtful and necessary.Emotional intellegence has never before been so clearly addressed...

Counselor's recommendation: What to do besides feel guilty

Parents are often at a loss as to how a child "acts like this when it's not how he was raised". This book describes the unique, in-born personality and behavior traits which our children have, making some of them more challenging to deal with. With more understanding of their make-up and some specific strategies to try as parents and teachers, adults can feel more in control of the situation and children's unique needs can...
