The bestselling guide that has helped hundreds of thousands of parents and their children is now available for immediate consultation as a downloadable e-book and to keep handy as a ready reference in the busy parent's PDA or other electronic reading device.
The spirited child - often called 'difficult' or 'strong-willed' - can easily overwhelm parents, leaving them feeling frustrated and inadequate.
Spirited kids are, in fact, simply 'more': by temperament, they are more intense, more sensitive, perceptive, persistent, and more uncomfortable with change than the average child. Through vivid examples and a refreshingly positive viewpoint, renowned parenting authority Mary Sheedy Kurcinka offers parents emotional support and proven strategies for raising their spirited children. This classic, landmark book will help you:
* Understand your child's - and your own - temperamental traits.
* Plan for success with a simple four-step program.
* Discover the power of positive - rather than negative - labels.
* Cope with tantrums and blowups when they do occur.
* Develop strategies for handling mealtimes, bedtimes, holidays, school, and many other situations.
Filled with personal insight and authoritative advice, Raising Your Spirited Child can help turn parenting from the trial it can be to the joy it should be.
