Book Reviews of Raising Your Spirited Child Rev Ed: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic
Book Review: Answers to the hard questions
Summary: 5 Stars
When I read this book, many of my unanswered questions were finally resolved. I understood both myself and my children significantly better. The author is easy to understand, non-judgemental, and offers specific tips and suggestions that are easy to implement. I felt such a strong connection to the concepts I read a few other of her books and even wrote the author to follow up. She answered rather quickly and was extemely pleasant and approachable.
This book is a must for any parent who has a child who is just a little different and you can't quite figure out what to do. Spirited children are great; they just need parents who understand them, to help them be the best they can be. I can't say enough good things about this book.
Summary of Raising Your Spirited Child Rev Ed: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic
Now in a NEW UPDATED version, Kurcinka offers parents the most up–to–date research, effective strategies and real life stories for:
•Managing intensity – not just the kids, but parents too
•Getting the sleep every family needs and deserves,
•Choosing their battles
•Helping children to hear their instructions
•Assisting children in getting along with siblings and peers, and
•Being successful in school and at home.
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.
