Reviewed By This pair of books is written for parents of children who can best be described as "more": more intense, more persistent, more sensitive, more uncomfortable with change. Using a temperament-based approach to understanding the spirited child, Kurcinka offers parents a way to translate adjectives such as "difficult", "strong-willed", "stubborn", to more positive descriptions of their child: "lively", creative", "eager", "having a strong, assertive personality." Kurcinka helps parents identify and understand the effects of a mix of temperaments within a family and provides practical strategies for working with the mix that includes the spirited child. The workbook utilizes exercises, observations, dialogue from case studies to help parents deal effectively with the unique challenge of parenting the child who is "more."
