 Raising
Your Spirited Child Rev Ed: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense,
Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic
Average Reader Rating: 
Book Description from Amazon.com:
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.
 Taming
the Spirited Child: Strategies for Parenting Challenging Children Without
Breaking Their Spirits
Reviews from Amazon.com:
"Finally, a fresh approach to the whole 'difficult child' category.
In this insightful and moving work, Michael Popkin shows parents the positive
potential of these spirited children without making excuses for their
behavior. His 'taming' methods are as humane as they are effective."
-- Thom Hartmann, author of Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different
Perception
"I adore the real strategies and know parents will be so grateful
for the positive spin on 'spirit.' This is one of the best parenting books
for raising challenging children." -- Michele Borba, Ed.D., author
of No More Misbehavin'
"This text should be required reading for anyone responsible for
children. As a pediatrician, I know that captivating the difficult-to-manage
child's spirit and redirecting that energy into positive thoughts and
actions can go a long way towards improving social outcomes." --
Dr. Melina McVicar, professor of Clinical Pediatrics, New York Medical
College
