Spirited children possess traits we value in adults, yet find challenging in children. Studies now show that these children are 'wired' to be more reactive to the world around them. The solution, rather than medication or punishment, is understanding temperament and working with it. Kurcinka in a supportive, warm style is able to reveal to parents how to do it, often leading them to ask, 'How did she get into my home?' Winner of the Parents' Choice Award, voted one of the top twenty books for parents, and a 'real life saver' for parents, this updated version is eagerly awaited by parents and professionals. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - What a life saver My daughter loves this book as my granddaughter is a truly spirited child and this has saved my daughter from baldness. Lots of info, ideas and solutions to the problem of what to do with these kids, read this book, love the kids and let them be who they are without compromising your ideals. Highly recommend. Rating: - A lifeline -- This book changed our home. This book has been a lifeline. Rick and I thought we were great parents. We had a gorgeous little girl who was obedient and sweet. Everyone loved her and praised us for doing such a great job. Then we had our son. Everything that "worked" with Ellie caused the opposite effect in Zach. On the verge of defeat and insanity, I found this book. I cannot tell you how much help it has been; how much it has changed our household, improved our relationships and our confidence.

It made me feel relieved to know that I am not the only one, and it helped me view his "quirks" in a positive light. The tools and talk tracks have really helped us work together better, and we have had a lot fewer meltdowns since I've read this book. I would recommend this book to any parent, but especially parents of more intense kids. My son is not overly energetic--this is not a book just for hyper kids, though she ...

There are may spirited chidlren out there, I just happen to have two of them. very helpful in specific and general terms. I enjoyed reading it. Rating: - Almost Perfect I love this book. She could have been writing about my son directly... BUT My son is a pre-verbal toddler and she focuses more on older toddlers and children. The theories and suggestions all make sense to me and I will use them when he is older. I had many "Ah Ha!" moments and each chapter really helped explain why he does or reacts the way he does. In fact this book has helped me understand myself and my mother better too! If your child is old enough to talk, this will be a life ... Read More see more
