    Life Saver!!!!!
  

*by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2009*

This book was a complete life saver!  I have a 3 1/2 year old and really needed someone to tell me that what I knew about my son was valid and things just were different for him.  I even emailed the author to thank her (and she emailed back)!  Here is my letter to her to help those considering buying this book understand how wonderful it is for a parent of a spirited child:For the longest time, practically since he was born, I felt like a failure as a mother.  It wasn't until I read your spirited child book did I FINALLY feel like someone understood.  When I began your book, I spend days crying as I read it, describing everything to my husband, mother, and best friend.  It was unbelieveable that someone explained my child but made me see him in a completely different light.  If you could see my book, you would see that I practically have every other page earmarked.  I plan to read it a second time and highlight again what is most helpful. I truly consider it my parenting Bible.While reading your book, I finally felt that I wasn't such an evil mother.  In fact, it felt so wonderful to hear that it was understandable that I, a spirited adult (and child too), would react in a particular manner.  For the first time, I don't feel so much anger or embarrassment for my son's spirited behavior.  While I knew he had so much of my personality and while I knew there were so many good qualities about him, it was difficult to not get upset when he just wasn't like the children of any of my friends or those at his preschool.  And, while I was a spirited child, I didn't react as strongly as my son does now, at least not in public and not until I was older, where I could control my emotions a bit more.  This was another reason I had a hard time understanding my son and being patient, despite my efforts at trying.  It got to a point where I felt that my fuse was extremely short and I was only doing harm to my relationship with my son(not physical but there were times I felt I was just getting so upset with him, especially when his tantrums were out of this world.)Now though, while there are some days where I still get extremely frustrated and upset, I feel proud to have a spirited child.  I have learned to create a 'yes' environment and this has helped our situation tremendously.  I am proud to have a sensitive, determined, and persistent child.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my family and my relationship with my son.  I truly am forever indebted to you.

    Spot on!
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2013*

At 3 months old my daughter's pediatrician recommended I take a personality assessment for my little one after I was stressed about her colic, lack of sleep and inconsistent eating/sleeping patterns. This was not an easy baby, it was my first, and I had very little child experience as I was the youngest who hated babysitting other kids. The assessment came back "spirited" which was a nice word, it made me think of a colt who has not been broken yet and is spirited throwing it's head and kicking it's legs. I read the "happiest baby/toddler" books, which are wonderful, but Dr Harvy's tips don't always work for all children. As my daughter got older I did a search on Amazon for "parenting tips for spirited kids" and found this book. At first I was skeptical so I borrowed the book from the library. I voraciously ate up the pages, they were so informative and resounded so true! A lot of the tips are for older children who you can actually talk to, which is going to be very helpful as my daughter gets older so I bought the book and the workbook. I expect to use the book for many years to come. There are not a lot of tips for the under 3 year olds (mine is 19 months) but these are one of those subjects you want to be familiar with BEFORE there are problems so that you can see them sneaking up on you and nip them before they bloom. I recommend you buy it and read even for younger children. For example, sleep: at any stage of development protecting your child's sleep schedule is important but for a Spirited child it is crucial. I have also learned from this book to help my daughter with transitions before we move onto something else and we have circumvented many tantrums with this tactic. I am so looking forward to watching my perceptive, energetic, FUN little girl grow into a person who is just MORE, and I am so thankful for Kurcinka who has put her time and energy into creating this guide for us.

    I appreciate this book
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2013*

Thin book has really helped me with figuring out and relating to my child who is 4 and spirited.  This book has been a big help in understanding her perspective and how she processes and downloads situations.  The book has a series of quizzes that help you make determinations about your own personality and your child's.  I liked this because it helps you to see how your personality and your child's work well together or against each other's.  This is eye opening because there may be simple differences, such as you are introverted by nature but your child is extroverted by nature, that are exacerbating the behavior issues you are having with your child.  Tips for relating to a child that confuses you or that you have trouble understanding are really thoughtful and positive in this book.  They all aim to support the child and help the parent to diffuse situations rather than escalate them and causing everyone to become overwhelmed.  I like the positive suggestions and support this book offers.  It really helps to unveil some of the mystery around your child's behavior so you can see it for what it is:  your child doing their best to cope with their surrounding and feelings.  Some children are just more intense, plain and simple.  They need our support and help navigating their emotions perhaps a little more than their siblings or other children.  This book is a great read, and a reference I still turn to when needed.
