LIVING WITH YOUR SPIRITED CHILD
Carol Russell, R.N., B.S.C.N.,

"Spirited" children are normal—just "more". They respond to their environment more than "average" children. Parents of "spirited" children often feel they are doing something wrong, causing the behaviour. This workshop will help parents understand temperament—the reasons for a child’s response to his world. It will help parents plan for the challenges of parenting their "spirited" children. It will include strategies for helping children behave in more appropriate ways.
