The book is practical, with a quiz to help identify your child's brain/body type. Does he take a while to learn something but then remember it for a long time? Does she learn something quickly but have little retention? What about energy level and sleep patterns? Each of these fit with a specific type, and as parents, we can help encourage our child's strengths while bringing them into balance, based on the ideal routine, activities, and diet for each type of child.
The book also gives helpful information on adjusting parenting for different ages and stages, and how to identify your own type to explore how that makes it easier or harder to relate to your child.
The book confirmed one thing I already knew - the my oldest daughter and myself are the same type. It also gave me more concrete ideas for how to parent each one differently, as they grow older and hit different maturity levels,
