Publisher's Summary

You've been there - feeling helpless, clueless, when a child you love totally bewilders you.

Maybe it's the tantrum at the store, or the hour-long bedtime battle, or the head-scratcher of getting your child to eat veggies. You wonder what on earth to do, so you get advice, read books, watch videos, ask the internet. And still, something's missing.

You need a plan that addresses your child's needs, not everyone else's. Why couldn't children come with a handbook?

Turns out, children are born with a handbook: they are the handbook.

In The Child Whisperer, best-selling author Carol Tuttle explains that children tell their parents every day exactly how they need to be parented. They tell their teachers exactly how they need to be taught. Children are trying to tell adults who they are so they can be recognized and treated in a way that honors them uniquely.

The Child Whisperer reveals that the key to raising happy, healthy, cooperative children lies in understanding and responding to a child's inner nature.

Children's true natures are written in the shape of their faces and expressed daily in their appearance, body language, tone of voice, and choice of words. Your child's unique laugh, cry, joys, worries, and even tantrums speak volumes about the type of parenting they need. And you'll learn exactly how to offer it by listening to The Child Whisperer.

This simple but unique approach actually makes parenting more intuitive, fun, cooperative, and most importantly customized to your individual child.

The Child Whisperer will give you the tools to:

  • Have a happier, more cooperative child, using less discipline
  • Foster more confidence and natural success in your child
  • Repair trouble parent/teen relationships
  • Reconnect with your adult children

The Child Whisperer teaches how to read unsaid clues that children naturally give every day, and shows how parenting, teaching, coaching, and mentoring children can be an even more intuitive, cooperative experience than ever.

Such Valuable Information

So glad to have found this material when I did. It’s a life changing resource that can help everyone know themselves and others better, and I would recommend it regardless of if you have children or not. I’ll be getting the physical book now too.

Thank you Carol Tuttle for writing this book.

Detailed but not user friendly

When listening to it, one thing that is obvious is the extensive knowledge and experience the author has in regards to communicating with kids. She discusses many scenarios and varying age groups.
The most interesting aspect is understanding which of the four types your child is and to communicate according.
However there is a substantial amount of information and tips. There is so much to absorb, that I feel you would have to listen to it in its entirety at least 3 times to embed the key points.
Another thing is that she reads her writings so fast that you you have to use the app's audio speed feature to slow it down to 85%. For this reason it is not the most enjoyable book to listen to and I personally feel that most parents who listen to this book will realize it's not the children bible they had hoped it would be. I have immediately gone to the book store to find an even better book which is easier to understand and implement its principles.
I will give 3 stars due to the effort put in by the author.

Very Enlightening and Insightful!

I easily listened to this in two days on a long road trip. As an experienced nanny I found it very interesting and wish I listened to it earlier. The advice rings very true to me and was put in a positive and supportive way. Carol also narrated clearly and professionally as well as writing it perfectly. My family recommended it to me, as I do to you.

The narration is mind numbing!

I like some of the idea but I can’t stand listening any longer, her monotone super fast narration of the book is just mind numbing, it literally sent me to sleep. I wouldn’t recommend it, she also has some strange new age idea she basis her advice on. I want to understand my kids from a biological, brain based development perspective that’s founded on the scientific method.
