From the beloved best-selling author whose award-winning parenting books have sold more than one million copies - an indispensable guide to the unique needs of Spirited Infants.
Does your baby bursts into tears when another baby in the same situation sleeps soundly?
Do the strategies your friends swear by not work with your baby?
Do the upsets and shrieking come out of seemingly nowhere and take forever to subside?
Moms and dads who answer "yes" are the parents of a spirited infant. Spirited infants are the outliers - the exceptions to the "rules", the extraordinary ones. They arrive in this world genetically wired to be alert and intense. Spirited babies put parents to the test and raising them takes special skills and patient perseverance.
In this groundbreaking new book, beloved parenting expert Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, EdD, offers her findings in the fields of neuroscience, sleep, temperament, self-regulation, attachment, and parent-child interactions and shares what she has learned from hands-on experiences with families to bring this much-needed perspective to the parenting of babies under 18 months of age. She provides extensive research, parent-tested strategies, and a clear shame-free, guilt-free guide to nurturing and caring for spirited babies.
Kurcinka reveals a plan for success with a five-step Spirited Baby Methodology to give parents - and everyone who supports them - a how-to handbook that will be embraced as a simple, trusted companion.
