Summary: on the "indispensable" shelf among parenting books
Review: The author's positive and practical approach helps you to see the good in your "spirited" child, to craft situations which "work", and to advocate for your child. I rate this book among my top five picks for parents-to-be and parents of 0-5 year olds.

Summary: Does your childs have ADHD?
Review: Well... Lookie here... This workbook is a remarkable companion/follow-up to the book Raising Your Spirited Child or will provide immense help on its own. From the point of birth - for some as early as conception - did you recognize your child was more intense, persistent, sensitive, perceptive, and more uncomfortable with change? Perhaps they are hard to get onto any kind of schedule. They may exhibit an incredibly high energy level. Their first reaction to anything new may be a rapid withdrawal or a resounding no only to see them fully participate when warmed up. Are they analytical and always have a suggestion for change? Not all of the aforementioned characteristics need be present. However if these sound familiar you may be the blessed parent of a spirited child. I am not referring to a religious form of spirit. Some people are familiar with this term others many have heard the term Strong Willed. Mary Sheedy Kurcinka coined the term in 1979 after the birth of her son Joshua. Prior the terms commonly associated with these children ranged within difficult, strong willed, and stubborn. As a positive parenting advocate I appreciate the healthy approach this publication guides us through. You will receive strategies for avoiding power struggles, will learn to recognize the trigger points for your child (and ways to avoid the explosions), and maintain respect for each other. Both of my girls are well mannered so please don't let your thought pattern sway to visions of disobedience. We have chosen to recognize the innate traits they possess and work with them so they can succeed without squelching their inner being. I was exceptionally excited to acquire the book Raising Your Spirited Child and soon after purchased the workbook. Although either will contribute a wealth of knowledge and help, I suggest purchasing both. In addition to this book, I recommend:
The Way They Learn by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias
How To Talk So Kids Will Listen
How To Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlish, Every Child Can Succeed by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias. In addition to raising two Spirited Kids, my husband and I are spirited. Within my in home daycare/preschool there are several Spirited Kids. I will gladly take S'MORE (some more)Spirited Kids! Happy parenting!
