Girl, you're reading/writing? my mail! ha! I have a couple very very Spirited children. My oldest (I cringe to write this bc I don't believe in "labels", but for lack of a better way to say it, he has ADHD and we will never give him meds for it--he will have to learn to harness it and I fully believe he will). My middle son is full on SPIRITED, passionate, energetic, sensitive, highly intuitive and DRIVEN. Girl, he about drives me wild. I am in tears almost every other day. I NEVER DREAMED parenting would be so hard. I have read the book you mentioned and every book on the planet about strong willed children and I KNOW that he will be GREAT and do AMAZING things for God, but I feel pretty lost most days on how to parent him. There is no hard and fast rule with him, it's just everyday pressing hard into the Holy Spirit and needing Jesus pretty desperately. But oh how he amazes me, the depth of his spiritual understanding. He has taught me how to pray like never before :) I've been wanting to write a post about it, and you sure have inspired me!!

I love the way Dawson takes in the world. His sniffer would have a hay day at the Iowa State Fair -- eek! Our spirited son is a few months older than Dawson, and we found a turning point around 4.5 ... and also experiencing the "more good days than bad" upswing. He and I both have improved on regulating emotions - a difficult and rewarding process! I am interested in experimenting with Melatonin, as our son seems to become more activated as the night approaches. Once again, thank you for being so open with your insight and experiences. Enjoy your upcoming girls trip!
