Review: A MUST read by every parent who wants to understand their child! : I loved this book! I purchased this book when my son was 4. I wanted to know how he thought and what made him tick. It wasn't much good to me then. He wasn't developed enough in his personality yet for me to see the behaviors of each style. He is now 7 and this book has helped greatly! He was starting to stuggle in school this year. He kept falling behind in class, wouldn't get his work done, easily distracted, very social, etc. I had paragraphs highlited and wrote his name in. There were things in there that fit him to a "T". C.U.T. notes in her book that no one is specifically one learning style. I have found that it depends on the subject with him. In phonics, he's auditory, in math he's visual, etc. The big deal for me was that I finally understood how he PERCEIVES his world!!! He's global and random. Once I got the definitions of what those were, we got a long MUCH better. I am the polar opposite of him and there were many times we seemed to be speaking two different languages. This book, for us, was like having a translator. One note: We have not discovered his environmental preference. I'm not sure he's developed a pattern for me to discern this yet, but I'm sure it will come as he gets older. I can see why some said that the book was out of context, but for now, it's one of the best books out there, even if Gregoric doesn't believe in applying it to children across the board. Everyone changes and develops and different levels and stages in life. What we might do and not think about at 17, we would rethink at 30. All in all, though for us, it's been a LIFESAVER!!
