reference texts with respect to:

kids to excel and develop confidence in their abilities.

naturally:

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.

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

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