A hands-on workbook for understanding intense, persistent, and sensitive temperaments

Designed as a companion to Raising Your Spirited Child, this workbook organizes its guidance around observation and practical exercises. Kurcinka defines “spirited” through heightened intensity, persistence, sensitivity, and discomfort with change, then uses temperament profiles to help adults notice both a child’s patterns and their own. The material addresses triggers for tantrums and other challenging behavior, early signs of escalating intensity, everyday factors that can affect a day, and approaches to reducing power struggles. Dialogue drawn from workshop groups adds examples of how these concerns arise in family and educational settings. The emphasis is on adapting routines and responses to the particular temperaments within a household or classroom.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking structured exercises around children’s temperament and challenging behavior
  • Educators working with children who show high intensity, persistence, sensitivity, or difficulty with change
  • Families looking for strategies to recognize triggers and reduce power struggles

Book overview

"Through excellent examples and easy-to-read text, this book provides parents with a pathway to understanding their child's temperament and to a place where parents can balance the needs of their child's unique temperament with their own needs and those of their family."
-- James Cameron, Ph.D., executive director, The Preventive Ounce, Berkeley, California

The essential companion workbook to the national bestseller "Raising Your Spirited Child, " In this companion workbook, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka brings readers into her world-famous workshops, where she offers parents and educators insights, emotional support and proven strategies for dealing with spirited children. The key word that distinguishes spirited children from other children is "more" -- more intense, more persistent, more sensitive and more uncomfortable with change. Through exercises, observations and dialogue from actual groups, Kurcinka helps readers learn to identify the triggers that lead to tantrums and challenging behaviors. Included are clues to help you identify the little things that can make or break a day, tips for profiling your child's temperament and your own, cues that indicate intensity is rising, successful strategies for reducing and eliminating power struggles.

By combining the intuition and compassion gained from parenting a spirited child with the wisdom of an expert who has worked with thousands of families, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka helps parents and educators view their unique challenge with perseverance, flexibility, sensitivity, and, most of all, enjoyment.
