## Description

Revised third edition of the award-winning bestseller that has helped millions, now providing the most up-to-date research and even more effective, practical tips and strategies Do you ever wonder why your child behaves the way he or she does? Are you struggling with tantrums and meltdowns? Do you find yourself getting frustrated and feeling like you’re at the end of your rope? You are not alone! Many parents are dealing with the same challenges. In Raising Your Spirited Child, Third Edition , beloved parenting expert Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, Ed.D., offers ALL parents and caregivers a glimpse into what makes their spirited children behave the way they do. The key word that distinguishes spirited children from other children is "more" -- more intense, more persistent, more sensitive and more uncomfortable with change. Through vivid examples and a refreshingly positive viewpoint, this invaluable guide offers emotional support and proven strategies for handling the toughest times. Dr. Mary has devised a plan for success with a simple four-step program that will help you: · Understand your child's and your own temperamental traits · Cope with tantrums and blowups when they do occur, and prevent them in the future · Develop strategies for handling mealtimes, bedtimes, holidays, school, and many other situations. · Implement discipline to win cooperation and establish clear boundaries · Teach your child how to be a “problem solver” and work well with others · … and more! Including charts and quick tips for today’s time-challenged parents, this newly updated edition of Raising Your Spirited Child will help you foster a supportive, encouraging, and loving environment for your spirited child.

Review: Highly recommended - not only for spirited children - I'm not into guides, but I must say that this one was worth reading. It opened my eyes to some reasons for difficulties and that better understanding is often enough to keep your cool and steer the situation away from tantrum. It actually taught me a few things about myself and my own reactions. I like that it focuses on fostering a good relationship with the child, but is also realistic and very practical in terms of how to handle everyday challenges of raising a determined, intensive child.
Review: Absolute gem for worried parents who think their child is TOO MUCH - Wow! Could not be happier I found this book! And it’s not because it has ‘fixed’ anything in my child or me or life for that matter BUT it put my mind at ease and peace while looking after my toddler, who in fact is inquisitive, lively and persistent character! It helped me realise that it is OK for my son to be intense as much as it is for me to ‘intensely’ fear if I will manage to meet his needs. Yes it is almost like that tap on the shoulder that allows you to be honest with yourself and child which makes parenthood more ‘bearable’. I was scared so to say -for a moment- that there is something wrong I have done or actually HAVEN’T done therefore my son’s emotions are so so sooo explicit. I was fearful going to toddlers group or when I had to pick him up from nursery worrying what he’ll do or say this time.. I bet there’s many of other parents out there thinking that their child’s temperament is something they have ‘caused’ or probably not managed well.. and you are wrong! Read that book if you’re seeking reassurance or help with managing your patience and helping your gifted (yep! You’ll find out why!) child to thrive in best possible and tailored to him/her/them way! 👍

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant
*by B***T on 4 August 2016*

Loving this book. Still reading it but it's very positive. It has practical advise, and makes me feel there is hope. One of the most useful thing so far is to think of your mood either in the green zone (for calm and happy), yellow zone or red zone (for having lost it). My six year old got it as soon as I explained and when jubilated said 'mummy, I am in the star zone now!' He continues to use the terms to describe where he is at. Which is great for discussing problems and annoyances and looking for ways to get back to the green zone. I Highly recommend this book and I haven't even finished it yet!
