[...] I was fortunate enough to have a year long maternity leave, and then decide to work from home after that year was up, during which time I spent a lot of time reading up on attachment parenting and happily finding my values reflected within the pages of the many books I read. Dr. Sears’s The Fussy Baby Book was especially a lifesaver for me during my daughter’s first year of challenging and spirited behaviours. [...]

great post, thank you so much for this extremely positive story. good luck with your daughter. my son is an extremely “spirited” child and has been since his difficult birth, and breastfeeding soothed him too when nothing else did (though later on rocking did too). He too cried constantly, and is extremely easily thrown off kilter, has difficulty adjusting, and a whole host of problems. But he is also wonderful, sensitive, kind, perceptive, energetic. I am reading “Explosive Children” and “Your Out-of-Sync Child” and “Raising Your Spirited Child”.

This is a very courageous post! And I can relate to it so well. Hugging and kissing and singing and cooing - none of that worked for my daughter either when she was a baby. She's also definitely high-needs, very intense and very emotional. I sometimes feel torn between wanting and not wanting there to be a specific label. On the one hand, a label would make me feel like I'm not crazy or incompetent because my child simply has "X." On the other hand, I would never want my child to be seen merely as an "X kid." But most of the time, I think my girl just has certain characteristics that are very challenging in the early years, but which will serve her well as an adult.
