“A remarkable tool for relating to children” (Booklist), this essential parenting guide shows how to use Myers-Briggs personality types (MBTI) to better understand and bond with your child and become the best parent possible.

Every parent knows that children, even babies, have distinct personalities. Any parent with more than one child is probably well aware of 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 with another child. How can you be sure that your nurturing is well suited to your child? With this one-of-a-kind parenting guide, you can use Myers-Briggs analysis – a powerful and well-respected psychological tool – to understand your child better and become a more effective parent.

In Nurture by Nature you’ll learn:

Which of 16 distinctly different types best matches your child’s personality and how this personality type affects your child in each of the three stages of development – preschool, school age, and adolescence
How other parents, whose experiences are recounted in scores of case studies, deal with a wide array of challenging situations you may encounter: reining in a preschooler whose boundless energy constantly gets him into trouble, communicating with a child who keeps her thoughts and feelings secret, understanding an adolescent who seems not to care that he is forever losing things (his homework, his baseball cap, his keys), broadening the horizons of a child who resists trying anything new or unfamiliar…
And how you can adapt your parenting style to your child’s type – and get better results when communicating, supporting, motivating, and disciplining.

Whether your child is a tantrum-prone toddler, a shy third-grader, a rebellious teen, or somewhere in between, Nurture by Nature will give you the power to understand why children are the way they are – and to become the best parent you can be.
