Written on January 30, 2008 Summary: Finally felt understood... and then more understanding. When I began reading this book I actually felt as if someone had been watching my firstborn son and I or eavesdropping on our conversations, or reading his baby book and my exasperated, secret, momma journals. The author could have been writing about him/us, with names changed to protect the not-so innocent. Someone else has been through this? He isn't so rare? Initially, I didn't know whether to feel horrified or relieved. He was the newborn who cried because there really was one of my long hairs wrapped around his tiny toe (thank you Dr. Sears for mentioning that in one of your books--The Fussy Baby book, you think?-- as a possibility for inconsolable crying!)...he was the creeper who arched his back and screamed because there was a particularly stiff label inside his onesie that was itching his neck (thank goodness for the new tagless clothing!)...he was the toddler who cried to me that the (lush, Kentucky blue) grass in our front yard hurt his feet...and to this day, he will complain about the seams in his socks or lament that his sleeves don't feel the same. If I commiserate or help him fix it, he beams; if I tell him to get over it, he ruminates. I'd much rather help him on his way, to go compose a song or perform a play for me! He is much more intense-- and far more intelligent-- than any other child I have known, and this book really illuminated for me the brilliant upside of knowing a wonderfully creative and spirited child. Choosing to see my son as more perceptive and sensitive (instead of more difficult or harder to work with) has been key. He's so persistent, and now I admire that in him rather than finding it frustrating that he keeps at something even though it's frustrating! Reading this book helped me to feel so much more normal, sane and hopeful. I had a real a-ha/duh/lightbulb moment when I realized that *I* am myself a spirited person! (No wonder I adore and abhor my son all at once!) The tips on working with my own spiritedness have been priceless. It makes sense that I would understand my son more than anyone else, and now I understand why I am at times not the best at handling his meltdowns. I feel like I now have permission to allow my son to be just who he is--not to try to change him-- and I feel allowed to be myself, too. Maybe the rest of the world really is crazy and we are in touch?! I do wish there was at least a discussion of homeschooling as a viable option in this book, since that (and even more so, unschooling) is truly the least restrictive environment for spirited children.  Written on January 8, 2008 Summary: A great Guide for Parents of "spirited" kids If you are looking for books about your intense child, then you need this book. Even if you don't buy into it 100%, you will find a lot to inform you. When reading this book, you will recognize things about your child and this book will give you ideas of what you need to accept about your child and what you can realistically change. Mostly, it will give you the feeling that you are not alone, that you are not the only one with an intense child, that this is the way your child was made and that you are not to blame. REad this book and start to see your child in a different light. Written on August 14, 2007 Summary: Strongly recommend This book is one of the best parenting books available. It is one of the few books that actually offers substantive advice about how to deal with certain behaviors. Furthermore, it is the only book that I have read that maintains a positive outlook on "spirited" children. The book does not focus on ways to change the child and does not imply that the child has a disability. It simply teaches the parent how to deal to deal with behaviors and feelings of the spirited child. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the book is. I reread parts of it nearly every night. Written on July 20, 2007 Summary: Saved my mind I was so sure my son was different in so many ways that I would never be able to keep up with him. This book helped me decide which of his spirits needed extra attention from me and how to direct that spirit once I identified it. Now when he goes nuts jumping up and down on the bed, I know it's because he has a lot of pent up energy from having to be still for a long time (i.e. school). When he gets very quiet and withdraws I know he is needing special one on one attention because something has bothered him too much and he's embarrassed by that. There are so many nuances for each of our children and this book really helps figure out the particular ones that your own child is gifted with. Written on June 8, 2007 Summary: raising your sprited child The book was great. I was very please with it. I recomend it to everybody. |
