A follow-up
to Kate Andersen's widely acclaimed Temperament
Guides, this manual offers 70 activities for
use with parents and young children! Each
activity is designed to address a specific
aspect of the parent-child relationship, facilitating
the process of dealing with the child's individuality.
Are you one of the millions
of parents who struggle with a child with
challenging temperament traits? While temperament
problems are not the only challenges that
parents face, they are very common ones. Sadly,
even though information about temperament
has been available for over forty years, there
are still too few parenting programs that
deal with it. TTG2 remedies that problem by
publishing a manual for early intervention
professionals, a newsletter, and now, a workbook
- The Temperament Guides, Volume 2 - Activities
for Early Intervention Professionals and Families.
Although this workbook could help all parents
of children between the ages of two and twelve,
it is especially written for those who are
raising a child with many challenging temperament
traits. If you are one of those parents, chances
are you've already searched quite far to find
solutions. You may have scanned the parenting
section in a bookstore and, seeing all the
books out there, wondered where to begin.
Now, here's yet another book. What's different
about this one?
The author, Kate Andersen,
a parent of three young adults, is the co-founder
of a support organization for families of
children with difficult temperaments, and
an early intervention trainer. Kate's heard
the stories of thousands of parents, developed
and piloted parenting programs, and assisted
families and teachers with children with a
wide variety of behavioral and health problems.
The Temperament Guides, Volume
II - Activities for Early Intervention Professionals
and Families is a practical workbook to help
parents understand and cope with the temperament
of a two to twelve-year old child. It offers
a step-by-step approach for learning new and
positive ways of responding to temperament-related
behavior and mild behavior problems. The principles
and strategies in the workbook apply to any
temperament profile. The workbook can be used
as back-up material for families undertaking
a program of individualized temperament guidance,
such as that outlined in our first volume,
The Temperament Guides: Resources for Early
Intervention Professionals, or it can be used
on a self-help basis by parents.The workbook
is also very suitable for professionals who
are seeking additional material to supplement
the principles and practices outlined in the
first volume.
Over 40 new exercises have
been developed for this workbook. Exercises
which match parent handouts in the first volume
are marked TTG 1, followed by the number of
the page on which they appear in that guide.
