Raising Your Spirited Child Workbook

The Essential Companion
Workbook to the National Bestseller 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, more persistent, more sensitive, and more
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.

In this workbook,
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
power struggles

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.
