The Spirited Child
Michele Moss
Hello Sandra!
Your post caught my attention!
I
suggest a good vitamin? :)
success! There is such a need to educate people about the spirited
child.
anyone else is at in your familiarity of the spirited temperament.
At the risk of possibly repeating info that many of you may already
know, "Raising Your Spirited Child" by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka is the
number one most highly recommended book on the subject of the
spirited temperament. She has rightly become "THE" most respected
authority.
I am going to make a reading list now,
that you are probably already familiar with a lot of her work?
I hope this is not inappropriate, but i'd like to make you and
others aware of another email support group list for "parents of
spirited kids". Schooling seems to be a never ending topic there.
some parents are unschooling or home schooling but the posts related
to schooling are typically the frustrations of the parents in the
problems they are facing with their spirited children in the school
systems. It certainly reinforces my belief that I would be making
the right decision to unschool Sterling. Whether it's parenting or
schooling at home, there are frustrations and issues specific to
understanding and dealing with the temperament of the spirited child.
Our group focuses on sharing those frustrations and strategies to
help resolve the difficulties and encourage positive responses.
You can visit the discussion group URL listed below for psk in my
signature line to get more info or subscribe. or send a blank email

I hope this does not come across as advertising inappropriate for
this group but hope to just provide another support resource for
parents who have chosen to unschool their child and might be having
the additional challenge of their child's intensity, persistance,
transition difficulties, energy level, sensitivity (environmental,
physical, and emotional), distractibility, etc.

I have two very spirited dd's, ages 2 & 6.
(actually 1 month shy of 4 years apart--I thought that was enough
rest...ha!)
I also thought I couldn't get another spirited/intense child--HA!
My higher Power indeed has a sense of humor!
I cannot imagine having four, Sandra!
"Raising Your Spirited Child" has helped to put things into perspective for
me, too, Michele.
