The newly revised fourth edition is just as reassuring and eye-opening as the first edition. But it's completely rewritten and updated, with more step-by-step advice, concrete examples, and practical tips. In this book she takes her commitment to positive parenting a step further, giving parents the hands-on tools they need to ease the challenges of life with a spirited child, without resorting to punishment. This book is wonderful." -- Laura Markham, Ph.D., author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids "Enter Dr. Mary's classroom, and you'll soon see that this isn't just a quick overview--it's a transformative series of lessons that will build your confidence and skills in connecting with your Spirited Child. Along the way, you'll also uncover insights about yourself that will make you a better parent, partner, colleague, and friend." -- Janet Crow MD, Professor of Pediatrics, University of California San Diego, "If you have a child who is 'more'--more intense, more persistent, more sensitive--you probably already know who Mary Sheedy Kurcinka is.

Synopsis
The spirited child-often called "difficult" or "strong-willed"-possesses traits we value in adults but find challenging to manage in children. This book gives you the skills to build on their strengths and to help them thrive. In this newly revised edition, Dr. Mary: Introduces the Spirited Child Approach. Research-and strength-based yet honest, this approach helps parents understand their child and their own inborn temperament while focusing on three simple but vital concepts: calm, connect, and coach. Demonstrates the calming effect of routine. Dr. Mary explains how bringing structure into daily routines prevents meltdowns-even when every day seems to be different. Recognizes that every family is unique. In the modern parenting culture of online comparison and claiming that there's only one "right" way, Dr. Mary explains individual differences and encourages parents to trust their intuition as they select the strategies that best fit their family. Addresses the impact of social media and the use of electronics on the well-being of all family members. No shame, just insightful questions that encourage informed screen time and healthy alternatives. Prioritizes sleep for everyone-without leaving anyone to cry. Realistic strategies to get adequate sleep are woven throughout the book, including cutting-edge information and skills-updated with Dr. Mary's latest findings for tackling the challenge of parenting in the era of smartphones and social media., In this fourth edition of her perennial bestselling book, Dr. Mary Sheedy Kurcinka utilizes her deep experience to address the pressures previous generations of parents didn't have to consider. Her empathy and effective advice are exemplified in the introduction of her new and easy to apply Spirited Child Approach, which nurtures the entire family. The Spirited Child Approach helps parents understand their child and their own inborn temperament while focusing on three simple, but vital concepts--calm, connect, and coach--to help their family thrive. Research- and strength-based, yet honest, Raising Your Spirited Child speaks to parent burnout and, in a helpful and supportive manner, offers solutions to that exasperated question, "How am I supposed to stay calm and connect with my child when I'm just trying to survive the moment?" What's new in this edition? The Spirited Child Approach: This groundbreaking methodology focuses on three key concepts--calm, connect, and coach--offering practical tools to handle the most stressful situations. Structure as Prevention: Discover how structure and routine can help avoid meltdowns and create a more peaceful home. Tech-Savvy Parenting: Addressing the impact of screen time and social media on both kids and parents, Kurcinka provides actionable advice on managing screen use while nurturing relationships. The Power of Sleep: This edition prioritizes sleep for the whole family, offering simple, effective strategies for getting everyone the rest they need to thrive. Even fans of the previous editions of this book will find tons of brand-new information and skills--updated with Dr. Mary's latest findings after close to a decade of additional experience as a parenting coach, and for the challenging age of parenting in the age of smartphones and social media.
