Nurture by Nature: Understanding Your Child's Personality Type - And Become a Better Parent / Barbara Barron-Tieger, Paul D. Tieger / Paperback / Published 1997

I'm not completely comfortable with the idea that the personality type is imbedded from birth -- even if that is literally true, the child develops through life and personality type may be less apparent in early years -- but this is, nevertheless, a useful book for understanding that our children are often very different than we are, and that it's our responsibility as parents to learn to work with, not against, those differences. Every child is unique, and children should be respected not for how well they measure up to our expectations, but for themselves.
