| 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.
