| The updated cover was advestised. Yet they sent me the older version. In the description it should have stated that it was an older version and I would have shopped somewhere else. I wanted the updated cover for my library. |

| Filled with useful advice to help you actually enjoy raising your spirited child. The audio format allowed me to listen while commuting to/from work and to use my new insights from the moment I returned home each day. |

| There are some useful ideas in this,if you have the time to sift through the marketing jargon, but it seems more trendy than useful. |

Mary Sheedy Kurcinka does an excellent job of providing good common sense answers to why children are spirited and practical ways of dealing with the behavior. Observation, analysis and then appropriate action are keys to dealing with this behavior.
For example, in one Section called CHECK SIMULATION Levels Kurcinka writes:
"I always tell parents in my classes that if they ever feel like they are the only parent in the world with a sensitive spirited child, they should drop everything and head for the largest, noisiest, most congested store in their area. There they will find spirited kids dropping like little bombs. Two down one isle. Three in aisle four--the candy shelf--and six in aisle seven--the toy department. At first glance it will appear that the explosions are triggered by a denial to buy a candy bar, a desire to push the cart, or some other insignificant issue. The real trigger, however, is hidden in the fluorescent lights, piped-in-music, flashing signs, colorful packages, and crush of people that create more stimulation than a sensitive child can endure, especially if his or her energy bank is low."
She goes on to write:
"As a parent of a spirited child, you have to become aware of stimulation cues and recognize the breaking point for your child. The level of stimulation that pushes her beyond her ability to cope."
Kurcinka also explores subjects such as introverted and extroverted children, how they recharge their batteries and how to handle them. Other subjects include: How to deal with tantrums, Getting along with other kids, Motivating kids to listen and much more.
Overall an exceptional book on looking at cause, effect and practical solutions for addressing spirited children. Highly recommended.

It's a good book. I know I'm not alone but it lacked in offering true advice. I was left with a "what now?" feeling.
