Raising Your Spirited Child: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic Review: Impactful, Helpful Book for Kids Who are More - I bought this book over thirty years ago. I used it with my own child and passed around to various friends whose kids are just "more". I repurchased this for my amazing, highly spirited granddaughter. The beauty of this book is in its positive approach in creating success with children for whom the world is not ready. It also gives encouragement to parents who need to understand and embrace their beautiful, but challenging children. Review: I appreciate this book - Thin book has really helped me with figuring out and relating to my child who is 4 and spirited. This book has been a big help in understanding her perspective and how she processes and downloads situations. The book has a series of quizzes that help you make determinations about your own personality and your child's. I liked this because it helps you to see how your personality and your child's work well together or against each other's. This is eye opening because there may be simple differences, such as you are introverted by nature but your child is extroverted by nature, that are exacerbating the behavior issues you are having with your child. Tips for relating to a child that confuses you or that you have trouble understanding are really thoughtful and positive in this book. They all aim to support the child and help the parent to diffuse situations rather than escalate them and causing everyone to become overwhelmed. I like the positive suggestions and support this book offers. It really helps to unveil some of the mystery around your child's behavior so you can see it for what it is: your child doing their best to cope with their surrounding and feelings. Some children are just more intense, plain and simple. They need our support and help navigating their emotions perhaps a little more than their siblings or other children. This book is a great read, and a reference I still turn to when needed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #50,887 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #121 in Parenting Hyperactive Children & Children with Disabilities (Books) #144 in Baby & Toddler Parenting #4,638 in Health, Fitness & Dieting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (728) | | Dimensions | 5.32 x 1.24 x 8 inches | | Edition | Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0060739665 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0060739669 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 496 pages | | Publication date | November 28, 2006 | | Publisher | William Morrow | ## Images ![Raising Your Spirited Child: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717hYA2K-6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impactful, Helpful Book for Kids Who are More *by E***H on October 3, 2025* I bought this book over thirty years ago.

A therapist told me my daughter was "spirited" or "willful." And then she mentioned some books. Had she not told me my daughter was spirited, I would have never known to get this book. The biggest benefit is that the book made me less angry at my daughter who I learned is spirited from birth, genetics, hard-wiring, not an act of will. In fact, about 10 percent of children are spirited. Parents who go to group therapy in this book describe their constant exhaustion from raising a spirited child. One spirited child is like having 7 "normal" children apparently. It was therapeutic just to read this and not feel so alone and guilty for feeling like a failed parent. The parents interviewed in Kurcinka's book corroborate all the characteristics my daughter has: bossy, picky, persistent, argumentative (never ending, sending you down a dead end of arguments), exasperating, needy, controlling, stubborn, never admitting wrongdoing . . . I could go on, but you get my point. Such children exhaust and frustrate their parents. Knowing this isn't an act of will gave me more patience and understanding. I also learned that because spirited children are so perceptive, it's important for the mother and father to have an attitude of getting along with one another. My wife and I benefited from this as well. Tension between us translates into our daughter's behavior worsening. We also learned not to label our daughter with all the above characteristics as that will actually make her traits worse. For every negative trait, there is a positive side to it. In fact, spirited children grow up to be intelligent high achievers. Needless to say, being stern, strict, or angry doesn't motivate the child.You'll have to learn more patient strategies outlined in this book. A new edition comes out soon. I'm sure I'll get it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/245584-raising-your-spirited-child-a-guide-for-parents-whose-child](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/245584-raising-your-spirited-child-a-guide-for-parents-whose-child) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
