Description

The key word that distinguishes spirited children from other children is “more” — more intense, more persistent, more sensitive and more uncomfortable with change. The spirited child—often called “difficult” or “strong willed”—possesses traits we value in adults yet find challenging in children.

This guide offers emotional support and proven strategies for handling the toughest times through a simple four-step programme that will help you to:

  • Understand your child’s and your own temperamental traits
  • Focus on your child’s strengths
  • Cope with tantrums and blowups when they do occur, and prevent them in the future
  • Develop strategies for creating peaceful 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
