The Child Whisperer.
I am an avid parenting book purchaser. Only one other time have I felt like one book could be the only parenting book I would need (Siblings without Rivalry). The Child Whisperer should be on every person’s book shelf in the world. Yes, in the world!
Most parenting books have a ‘one size fits all’ feel to them. The Child Whisperer helps you to understand each of your children (and your spouse).
As I read, instead of feeling bewildered by the person I love, my heart has opened up to the natural energy they were born with. I have begun to see more readily their gifts and talents. I always thought I was pretty good at knowing and understanding my children. This book has helped me to know them on another level completely!
Understanding the energy type of the people I love opens up a whole new way of parenting that feels natural, real, and focused on my individual child. It also allows my children to be themselves without shame, expectations, or worry.
Every person in the world is one of four energy types. Based on the energy within them they live, act, react, and have strengths inherent to their specific energy.
Four Types of Children (and spouses):
Type 1: The Fun-Loving Child
Type 2: The Sensitive Child
Type 3: The Determined Child
Type 4: The More Serious Child
Now, when I pick up other parenting and self-help books they feel like they are missing something.
Being a parent doesn’t have to be about discipline. It can be about understanding each individual child (person, spouse, friend, parent) in a way that you’ve never considered. I love it!
You learn specifically about each of your children based on their energy:
- Why they act the way they do
- What motivates them
- Why they get into conflicts
- Their strengths
- Challenges they face
- The talents they have
- Specific social behaviors
- What their thoughts and feelings are
There are so many ways that you’ll be inspired about your individual child:
- their family relationships
- how they manage their money
- study habits
- potty training
- helping around the house
- driving
- different stages of their development
- dating in teen years
- behavior in the class room
- communicating in ways that you connect with them
- being on time
- sleeping through the night
- healing a damaged relationship with your child
Learning about each of the four different energy types of people has made me feel like a miracle worker.
I am A Child Whisperer.
I’ve known that one of my children (Type 2) needed me in different ways than my other three.
One night when she was very upset over homework in the kitchen I decided to think of her in terms of her strengths based on her energy. I said, “Hey, let’s go upstairs to your quiet room. You can get all cozy on your comfy bed with your soft blankets and do your homework there.” We got her situated and I asked, “Tell me what you have to do.” She listed what was left, we made a plan to accomplish her list. She suddenly became a different person from who she’d been downstairs. Within a 15 minutes her homework was done.
In the past I would have encouraged and encouraged her. Eventually, she would have been completely beside herself…still without her homework done. It would have been late and her attitude would have changed the entire feeling in the house and the dynamic of our evening. Instead, knowing the strengths of her energy blessed all of us (and our evening).
It’s a whole new approach to understanding life and relationships.

With 3 teenagers I definitely need a whisperer.
I have three reasons, Jeremiah, age 2 – Gabby age 5 and most importantly Cammy aage 8 who I think I need the most work and improvement on parenting because she is JUST LIKE ME.
I have 2 grandsons and many nieces and nephews…I would love to be able to help my kids and sisters and in turn help all our little one’s in this thing called Life =)
I have a very challenging two year old who is my youngest. I’ve been so stressed lately with him acting out and everything I’ve tried that worked with my other children has failed. The other day I just laid in my bed and cried out of frustration and desperation because I’m feeling so overwhelmed. It has affected our marriage and he takes up so much of my time and attention I feel my other three are getting neglected. I feel trapped and am desperate for a solution or the knowledge of how to be a better parent to him. I would love to win a copy of this book so very badly.
So sorry to hear about the frustration, Dustin. Unfortunately, I can relate all too well with kids going through times when nothing seems to work. I hope you win the book too.
I’d love to have this book. As far as I understand it’s similar as understanding your child’s temperament. I’d love to know more it.
I need this book for my sweet two year old – he is a mix of type 1 and 3. I am always open to advice and became a recent fan of Carol Tuttle. I need it for: 1) his sake and 2) my sake. 🙂 ha
What a cool giveaway! Two reasons: my marriage, and my 3 boys.
I have never read ANY parenting books but I am really feeling like I need direction in understanding my 4 year old and 2 year old. I was just thinking yesterday “it is TIME for me to read a parenting book”. I would love for this to be my FIRST and ONLY parenting book. I need this book to help me know and understand my girls and be the Mommy that they need me to be!
1)Ive seen how understanding personalities makes a difference in interacting with them! 2) I’d love to better understand my little boy and how to disciple/ motivate my little man!
This sounds right up my alley!
Reason 1: I have been looking for a decent parenting book to help me parent all the personalities in my house for a long time, unsuccessfully!
Reason 2: Having twins is so hard emotionally. They are so different. Both smart, both bring in about the same grades, but they learn so differently. One is being tested for the “Gifted and Talented program”. How on EARTH do I have the other understand that she is so smart herself, even if she hasn’t been selected for this? Ugh! I need some help over here!!!
Amy, we faced the same thing with our twins-it was tough to have one in GT and one not, but that turned out to be a turning point in the one that was not in GT’s life. She got a chance to shine in her class, made a new best friend (all her other friends were in GT) and tested in the next year. An emotional time for sure (probably more for us than for her-she has a lot of type 1 energy so she was pretty okay with it) but the growth was phenomenal to watch. Good luck with it!
Main reason I need this book……I have patience up the wazoo, what I don’t have is knowledge. I parent by the seat of my pants. And if I’m going to start my parenting book journey….it might as well be with a highly recommended book! Thanks for the opportunity.
Have never bought or read a parenting book, although I could really use one right now…. with a 20, 18, 12 & 4 year old. (all girls) I thought they’d be less stressful the older they got… ohhhh lets say I’m sooo wrong… Never thought I’d say this… I need Help! 🙂 sounds like a great book…
Two reasons? Well, we have 7 kids and they are older – they do not get easier as they get older. No they do not. Reason #1 – my sanity. Reason # 2 – my husband’s sanity 🙂
Always open to learning about parenting.
Thanks for the chance to win!
The two reasons I need this book are 1) Anna and 2) Sarah! I want to have a greater understanding of how their little minds work and why they do the things they do and I want to learn how to be the best parent I can and bring happiness into our home.
love this book so much 🙂
This sounds exactly like what I need! With three kids who all have very different personalities, I am finding it a struggle to parent each as they need (which is very different for each one!). Would love the insight of this book to improve on my parenting 🙂
