Understanding Your Child's Temperament (ISBN 1565079396)

There's hope for Christian parents!:
This book is for Christian parents who believe that children's personalities are God-given. When Mrs. LaHaye describes children with the Sanguine personality, they sound like hyperactive children. It's comforting to keep reading to find ways to channel the God-given temperament. There is hope in being Spirt-led!

Very helpful. Glad I bought it.:
Beverly LaHaye has a great understanding of temperaments in children. She goes to great effort to give a detailed description of each temperament and possible combinations.

Tried and true advice for parents:
I first read this book 24 years ago when my oldest daughter was a baby. It proved an invaluable resource in raising her and her younger sister. I loaned out my copy to many other parents as well. I am purchasing it again for my two daughters, one who is becoming an elementary school teacher and the other who will be a parent soon. This is a great book for understanding how God uniquely designs our children.

Don't do it:
I found this book to have too many biblical references. And spanking is advocated. I don't recommend it to anyone for any reason.

A misleadingly titled book which should be labled Christian:
Do not buy this book unless you are interested in a Christian centered view of the world. This book is informed by no psychology or developmental theory other than that found in the New Testament. We were very disappointed in Amazon when we thought we were buying a book by faculty of Children's Hospital of Philidelphia.
