Parents With Children Ages Birth-7 Years

Separating

Each of us is born with a distinct temperament. If you have a child who is strong-willed, easily stressed by new situations and super-sensitive about his or her environment, you could have a child we call ‘spirited.’ These kids are ‘more’ everything: more intense, more persistent, more sensitive and more perceptive. The book Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka will be used as a resource. Come and find out about the benefits and challenges of parenting spirited children. Learn that it is okay for them to be who they are.
