Nurturing Your Spirited Child
August

The key word that
distinguishes spirited children from other children is “more” – more
intense, more persistent, more sensitive, and more uncomfortable with
change. Learn to understand temperamental traits, identify cues leading up
to challenging behavior, how to cope with tantrums and more.
