"Great strategies for any child!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Unexpectedly good. I was sceptical due to the book being based on American society/children/re­search, however the parenting strategies were very practical and relevant to any child whether “spirited” or not. I have been recommending this book to friends, and I will definitely be re-reading it. The author moves away from authoritative parenting and focuses on working with your child's temperament and with your own temperament. It looks at bedtime, mealtimes and everything in between. I am using the strategies very successfully and our household is much calmer and in control.

Description

Newly revised, featuring the most up-to-date research, effective strategies, and real-life stories The spirited child-often called "difficult" or "strong-willed"-possesses traits we value in adults yet find challenging in children. Research shows that spirited kids are wired to be "more"-by temperament, they are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent, and uncomfortable with change than the average child. In this revised edition of the award-winning classic, voted one of the top twenty books for parents, Kurcinka provides vivid examples and a refreshingly positive viewpoint. Raising Your Spirited Child will help you: * understand your child's--and your own-temperamental traits * discover the power of positive-rather than negative-labels * cope with the tantrums and power struggles when they do occur * plan for success with a simple four-step program * develop strategies for handling mealtimes, sibling rivalry, bedtimes, holidays, and school, among other situations
