My "Spirited" Child

Ok, Holly, here goes.

Most important of all, examine the way you describe your
toddler. The "wild child" who is "stubborn," "exhausting," and a "crybaby" is
also a spirited child who is persistent, energetic, and sensitive — all traits
that are admired in adults. Use positive labels when discussing your child with
relatives and teachers, and they'll come to see his wonderful attributes too.And
with increased self-esteem, your spirited child will want to learn to behave
well. You'll know you're on the right track when your 3-year-old announces to
Grandma, "I had lots of energy today!" instead of saying, "I was a bad boy."
When you focus on your child's positive features and strengths, it changes your
behavior, and that in turn changes your child's behavior.This list was to take
things that we often say with a negative connotation and say it as a positive
attribute.
