About this title

Synopsis

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 authorative advice, Raising Your Spirited Child can help make parenting the joy it should be, rather than the trial it can be.

Store Description

Established in 1991, as family run used bookstore with thousands of gently read books, in stock to chose from. How it all came about I like to read and in about 1987 the house got full. The spare bedroom was literally boxed in. Then in May of 1991 the garage over flowed and then it happen the books had to go as their was no more room in the house or in the garage. So the Book Shop was opened. Well I'm still here and a lot more books have passed through the door of our shop the Ye Old Bookworm. All I wanted was a quite little used bookstore. Well that's how it was suppose to happen. We started with 69,873 and growing to well over 170,000. we got so many book we don't even know what we got. I never planned on being rich and famous. Well I'm still not rich, but the old man is really cleaning up (he's the janitor) and a lot of folks know us now so were sort of famous. We would like to get to know you too.
