Product Description:


The spirited child — often called 'difficult' or 'strong-willed' — can easily overwhelm parents, leaving them feeling frustrated and inadequate. Spirited kids are, in fact, simply 'more' — by temperament, they are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent, and uncomfortable with change than the average child. Through vivid examples and a refreshingly positive viewpoint, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka offers parents emotional support and proven strategies for handling their spirited child. Raising Your Spirited Child will help you:

  • Understand your child's — and your own — temperamental traits
  • Plan for success with a simple four-step program
  • Discover the power of positive — rather than negative — labels
  • Cope with tantrums and blowups when they do occur
  • Develop strategies for handling mealtimes, bedtimes, holidays, school and many other situations


Filled with personal insight and authoritative advice, Raising Your Spirited Child can help make parenting the joy it should be, rather than the trial it can be.



Amazon.com Review:
Recently, temperament traits have come to the forefront of child development theory. In Raising Your Spirited Child, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka's first contribution is to redefine the 'difficult child' as the 'spirited' child, a child that is, as she says, MORE. Many people are leery about books that are too quick to 'type' kids, but Kurcinka, a parent of a spirited child herself and a parent educator for 20 years, doesn't fall into that trap. Instead, she provides tools to understanding your own temperament as well as your child's. When you understand your temperamental matches--and your mismatches--you can better understand, work, live, socialize, and enjoy spirit in your child. By reframing challenging temperamental qualities in a positive way, and by giving readers specific tools to work with these qualities, Kurcinka has provided a book that will help all parents, especially the parents of spirited children, understand and better parent their children.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Worth it's weight in gold!
Filled with useful advice to help you actually enjoy raising your spirited child. The audio format allowed me to listen while commuting to/from work and to use my new insights from the moment I returned home each day.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Trendy
There are some useful ideas in this,if you have the time to sift through the marketing jargon, but it seems more trendy than useful.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cause, Effect and Practical Solutions!
Mary Sheedy Kurcinka does an excellent job of providing good common sense answers to why children are spirited and practical ways of dealing with the behavior. Observation, analysis and then appropriate action are keys to dealing with this behavior.

For example, in one Section called CHECK SIMULATION Levels Kurcinka writes:

"I always tell parents in my classes that if they ever feel like they are the only parent in the world with a sensitive spirited child, they should drop everything and head for the largest, noisiest, most congested store in their area. There they will find spirited kids dropping like little bombs. Two down one isle. Three in aisle four--the candy shelf--and six in aisle seven--the toy department. At first glance it will appear that the explosions are triggered by a denial to buy a candy bar, a desire to push the cart, or some other insignificant issue. The real trigger, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Info !!
VEry useful and easy reading for parents. I am using with parents of strong willed children.
