Taming the “Spirited” Child
July 22nd, 2008 by admin
Some may call them, "difficult" but spirited children are most likely to be able to walk on their own than being a follower. It can be a challenge being a parent to a spirited child, but there are some ways to make the job easier. Do what you say, being consistent and following through is very important. More action and less talk. Give limited options and stick with them. Be patient. Your child may throw a fit, but don’t back down, if you do, they will learn what pushes your buttons and do it again and again. Lastly remember to make time for yourself. Being able to relax and recharge will give you more energy and patience.
