This is NOT a "parenting" book. But it IS a book on how to communicate with kids (and you'll learn about adults, too) better. You learn: how to identify yours and someone else's temperament, what their strengths and weaknesses are, what their innate needs are (what helps them live as their best self), how to talk their "language", and SO MUCH more. The second part of the book is color coded to be able to flip to the temperament you want to focus on. It also breaks down the pairings of each temperament (like, a red mom with a green son; or a blue teacher with a yellow student) so you can use your words to build up the kids (and other humans) in your life. As a mom of 4 boys who literally display each one of the four colors (19 red, 17 blue, 14 green, 10 yellow), this book has been invaluable! It is a must read for teachers, coaches, parents, counselors, bosses, etc. (ie, again, ALL humans).

WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?
Do you ever wish kids came with owner’s manuals? Why won’t she get moving? Why won’t he quiet down? Why does one obey while the other ignores? Temperament expert Kathleen Edelman knows the answers.
Some students are inherently shy while others often have (too) much to say. How do you adjust your approach in the classroom to fit each students’ individual needs? This book will show you how.
Some kids are motivated by competition, others just want to have fun with friends. What makes the difference? Learn how to develop and motivate your players to be all they can be and be confident in who they are.
Why do some children openly share what’s going on in their life, while others clam up and refuse to speak? Understanding a child’s temperament will give you the tools you need to make sense of the kids who come to you for help.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Are your children living up to your expectations? Are they behaving the way you want? The journey to better behavior, effective parenting, calmer classrooms, and healthier teams starts here.
Miscommunication is almost always unintentional. Each temperament needs to hear certain words. Building these into your vocabulary will ensure you say all the right things and avoid all the wrong ones.
What do moody, bossy, lazy, and obnoxious kids all have in common? They all need something they aren’t getting. Learn how to read the signals and what you can do about it.
Why are some kids easy and some kids are just plain hard? Every tension you feel with a child is the combination of your temperament and theirs. Here are some do’s and don’ts for every color combination.
