Understanding The Exceptional: Sensitive & Spirited Children

Do you notice that some children are particularly sensitive, slow-to-adapt, persistent, energetic or intense at times? Are there elements of their behavior that are frustrating and confusing? There are many different facets of temperament, or how a child is “wired”, that have significant effects on their behavior. Some children are exceptional in the strength of their temperamental traits. This workshop is designed to help caregivers understand these children on a whole new level.
