Raising Your Spirited Child
In this companion
workbook, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, Ed.D., brings readers into her world-famous
workshops, where she offers parents and educators insights, emotional support
and proven strategies for dealing with spirited children. The key word that
distinguishes spirited children from other children is "more" --
more
intense,
persistent,
sensitive, and
uncomfortable with change. Through exercises, observations and dialogue from
actual groups, Dr. Mary helps readers learn to identify the triggers that lead
to tantrums and challenging behaviors.

you will find:
·
Clues to help you identify the little things that
can make or break a day
Tips for profiling your child's temperament and your
own
Cues that indicate intensity is rising
Successful strategies for reducing and eliminating

By combining the
intuition and compassion gained from parenting a spirited child with the wisdom
of an expert who has worked with thousands of families, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka,
Ed.D. helps parents and educators view their unique challenge with
perseverance, flexibility, sensitivity, and, most of all, enjoyment.
