You will learn why they get along with some children really well and others not so well, why some barely speak 10 sentences in a day and others are boisterous or flamboyant. You will see why they gravitate toward certain vocations. And, you will see that just because they came from the union of the egg and sperm they may not necessarily be a carbon copy of the two parents.

Imagine the impact on our children's lives if we could truly guide them in the direction they were born to go in (Proverbs 22:6)!
