Synopsis: Newly revised, featuring the most up-to-date research, effective strategies, and real-life storiesThe spirited child--often called "difficult" or "strong-willed"--possesses traits we value in adults yet find challenging in children.

Raising Your Spirited Child will help you:understand your child's--and your own--temperamental traits discover the power of positive--rather than negative--labels cope with the tantrums and power struggles when they do occur plan for success with a simple four-step program develop strategies for handling mealtimes, sibling rivalry, bedtimes, holidays, and school, among other situations
