Review:
This book is very informative. Know your child's personality type can help in may ways.I think this book maybe geared more towards younger age group.I have two teenagers and the younger one  I could place him in his personalty type but I had trouble pinpointing  the older one's personality type.She kinda has characteristics of not just on out of the two in each group.However this could be due to a disorder.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jen completed her undergraduate senior thesis on Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence

and its effect on self-esteem, attendance rates and love of learning in 1994 and in the years prior to

founding Kidzmet, she worked in the education industry in various capacities including brand and

product management for JumpStart educational software and in marketing for a non-traditional

post-secondary certification. Once she became a parent, she started seeing just how differently her

kids learned than she did...and was reminded how critical it is that teachers and parents “get” how

each unique student likes to learn in order for kids to become engaged, enthusiastic learners. She

also started to realize how many parents didn’t know personality-based techniques and strategies that

could help their kids learn how to learn better.

Ms. Lilienstein currently serves on the Editorial Board of the National Afterschool Association, the

Publications and Platform Committees of the NAA, the Quality Committee of the CA Afterschool

Network, and advocates for Afterschool for All with the Afterschool Alliance. She is also a member of

BOOST and ASCD. Ms. Lilienstein is also a weekly contributor on the Total Education Network,

which is syndicated on 80+ networks and heard by more than a million people in 180 countries

around the world.

At home, Jen is Mom to an extraverted seven year-old daughter--who has already dabbled in music,

swimming, gymnastics, ballet, nature, yoga and art--and an introverted four year-old son who loves

to do puzzles, build with LEGOs, examine the lives of animals and insects, and admire anything with

an engine.
