Parents' SK Description This inspiring and full of hope description of spirited/high-need children was written in Fall 1998 by the parents of Parent Soup's Spirited/High-Needs Children message board.

Expert Definitions A brief summary of what a four 'experts' (Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, William Sears, Linda Budd & Stanley Turecki) consider to be the defining characteristics or personality traits of our wonderful children.
