Synopsis/Summary:
The
spirited child — often called "difficult" or "strong-willed" — can
easily overwhelm parents, leaving them feeling frustrated and
inadequate. Spirited kids are, in fact, simply "more" — by temperament,
they are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent, and
uncomfortable with change than the average child. Through vivid
examples and a refreshingly positive viewpoint, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka
offers parents emotional support and proven strategies for handling
their spirited child. Raising Your Spirited Child will help you:
Understand your child's — and your own — temperamental traits
Plan for success with a simple four-step program
Discover the power of positive — rather than negative — labels
Cope with tantrums and blowups when they do occur
Develop strategies for handling mealtimes, bedtimes, holidays, school
and many other situations
Filled with personal insight and authoritative advice, Raising Your
Spirited Child can help make parenting the joy it should be, rather
than the trial it can be

before you can receive items you have purchased internationally. All
such fees and taxes are the responsibility of you the buyer. It is very
important to
understand that it may take up to 45 days for your packages to get to

This is due to the shipping service that you use, the time it takes for
the package to pass through customs, and the time it takes for your
country's local
carrier or courier to actually deliver the package. Shipments sent via
USPS First Class International mail commonly take 30-60 days to arrive
to certain countries. If you need your shipment faster, consider using
USPS Priority International Mail, USPS Express International Mail, UPS
or Fedex.
Note:USPS First Class International Mail:

United

via First Class International Mail because of the lesser cost then you
will not be insured if your item is lost in the mail. It can not be
traced or tracked. I cannot mail it again or replace the item. By
bidding on the items you accept these terms. Estimated Delivery Time 10
days to 30 days.

tracking number and is insurable and a safer way to mail your item.

mail you items. Great for one of a kind or hard to replace
iitems. Estimated Delivery Time 1 to 2 weeks.
