Testimonials:
~It has been enormously helpful for our family to understand the concept of personalities. Our eleven children have been better equipped to understand themselves and each other through the ‘DISC’ concept. Each of the Four Pals books are creatively written and illustrated to bring personality styles to life. Don’t just read these books to your kids, jump in and explore them together!

~Delightful stories will capture children’s imagination and attention as the identify with the characters and deepen their understanding of the four basic personality styles. As a result, they’ll better determine why they think and act the way they do, offering the positive reinforcement and self-esteem that every child needs!

~ The Four Pals series of books for children wonderfully reflect the unique differences and gifts that God has given each of us. If children are taught an awareness, understanding, and appreciation of these differences during their early years of development, they will be more successful in subsequent relationships with friends, family members, and in the world of business.

~ These books are in insightful, creative presentation of the personality types. They are well-written and present clear distinctions that elementary age children will understand and to which they will relate. I believe this series can be used by teachers and parents alike to gain understanding on how to best work with and get the most out of their students and children. I believe that Children that are exposed to this material will be better equipped to get along with others regardless of their personalities. This series will help children learn that some things are not wrong, they are different.

Erica –
I LOVE these books! I have given them to clients and to family and they are so educational and fun! Just today, I asked my four year old niece, which character from Four Pals is most like Aunt Erica? She immediately responded, Iris, (High I). Anyone who knows me would agree that she was spot on. I then asked which character is most like mommy? Again, she immediately responded, she is kind of like Summer (High S) and kind of like Charlie (High C). It has been over a month since we have read any of these books to her, yet she still remembers. Earlier this afternoon her mommy and I, who knows very little about the DISC method, were just discussing DISC and Shayna was playing outside & her mommy coined herself as an S/C. These books are fabulous and I would highly recommend them buying them for parents or teachers with young children. It is amazing that kids can grasp this concept and such a young age as a result of such a fantastic book.

Brad –
The Four Pals series is so great! I bought them about a year ago from one of the authors, Angel Tucker, when I saw her speak in person. She said that kids love these books, and she is right. Reading them with my 3 year old helped him understand himself, and they helped me understand him better as well. The books also helped him begin to understand other personalities and their unique characteristics. Instead of just thinking everyone in the world should be like him (strong personality, Dominant characteristics), he can begin to appreciate others’ unique qualities.
