Editorial Reviews

"After doing the profiling on her website and discussing it with her and then “scanning” the book, I realized how wrong I was in my approach to my son...The next week came and my teen had missing assignments and a big test coming up...I followed the principles outlined in the book. Today, he has all Bs again...He might even have a chance at a couple of As before the year ends. He’s happy, his mom is happy and I’m happy too. Next, I fired the tutor saving over $700 a m

"Armed with tools obtained from her Kidzmet Playbook, we approached this...lesson a little bit differently. When the lesson was over, the teacher commented how amazing this turnaround was–a special one-of-a-kind 180. My only reply–Kidzmet...Thank you Kidzmet. You’ve armed us with knowledge that has truly changed our lives."

"I identified (in retrospect) each of my children and then read the strategies suggested for each one. I found the advice amazingly accurate. Years of trial and error could have been saved if I had been given this information."

"The book is awesome. It defines the personality type, discussed getting things organized for your child in a manner that caters to their nature learning type, and discusses note taking and filing systems, homework and test preparation, group learning, and enrichment activities that fit the personality type. Additionally motivation & underachievement are discussed as well as handling successes & failures in the best way for your child’s personality type."
