The Active, Creative Child: Parenting in Perpetual Motion

With an active, creative child, parents and teachers need to be flexible, energetic and smart! Here is a practical handbook for coping, establishing realistic boundaries and avoiding labels when you have a really inquisitive child. Active/creative children are often misunderstood by the medical community, by schools, and by their own parents. Their energy can be astounding; their curiosity is boundless -- and channelling that energy is necessary. This is encouragement and genuine help to support a child's natural curiosity and energy: work with your child's energy, don't squelch it; keep your own ego from interfering with your child's passion; how to avoid over-stimulation; how to choose the best artistic outlets; how to choose the best teachers.
