Taming the Spirited Child: Strategies for Parenting Challenging Children Without Breaking their Spirits Book

Well, I've read lots of parenting books. Let's just say if you have one of those kids that has you scratching your head wondering what to do---this book might have some answers. And, after reading so many parenting books and having so many jumbled perspectives and conflicting advice, this book cut through it all with some simple explanations for why that other advice just doesn't work with Spirited kids. It was a relief to see someone else say "yeah, lots of people say "X" but if you try that with these kids, it won't work. this is why, so try it this way" I felt like after being beat up and knocked around by advice that only works partially and leaves me feeling like a failure, someone patted me on the back and gave me permission to embrace the kid I have.
