Your child shouts, 'You can't make me!' or 'I hate you,' or 'I don't want to!' Behind the angry words, what is the child really saying? David and Claudia Arp, based on a survey conducted in the United States and Europe, have identified the eight most common 'cries' of the spirited, or strong-willed child. In this audiobook you will find helpful, sympathetic insights to guide you in raising a spiritually and emotionally healthy child. For each of these 'eight cries' you will find workable answers and practical help in how to turn unpleasant, day-to-day hassles into win-win experiences through well-thought-out strategies for your not-so-compliant child. Help is on the way!

Standard advice-nothing special for spirited kids,

This review is from: Answering the 8 Cries of the Spirited Child: Strong Children Need Confident Parents (Paperback)
First, buyers should know this is aimed at Christians. If you don't want to be a Christian, don't buy this book. I am a Christian, so that part didn't bother me. But, the book quotes extensively from other books, and the advice is pretty much the advice all other ordinary books give. The "war stories" gave me comfort that other parents have 8- and 9-year-olds who still throw extreme tantrums, but the book didn't give any real answers to how to teach a child to calm down before exploding.
I found Mary Kurcinka's books to be far more helpful.

Understand what our children are really saying.,

This review is from: Answering the 8 Cries of the Spirited Child: Strong Children Need Confident Parents (Paperback)
Having raised three "spirited" sons I can heartily reccommend Answering the 8 Cries of the Spirited Child. How I wish I'd had this book when I entered my child raising years! Not only do the Arps give us tangible, specific tools to provide understanding, encouragement, boundaries, and a listening ear to our spirited children, but they give us hope for maintaining our sanity as parents. This book is a must read for all parents.
