Parenting your Ephraim's Child

Parenting your Ephraim's Child:

Although it is LDS based, it is a fabulous book about dealing with a child who is "more" of anything: sensitive, intense, demanding, assertive...pretty much any characteristic in an intense way. The author lists about nine different areas with positive labels for those feisty behaviors and tendencies...and I could relate to quite a few of them in myself, not to mention my children (my parents will not be surprised).

The basic premise according to Mary is that we can take these things that drive us crazy, substitute positive labels to them, and eliminate so much of the tension we feel on a daily basis...or maybe it is just me :).
