Research shows that 10 percent of children have a feisty or spirited temperament type. These children tend to be impulsive, sensitive and intense. They’re easily distracted and they have difficulty adapting to change and calming themselves. Parenting them often requires a little extra — extra time, extra patience and extra strategies. However, with a little extra guidance, these children can become well-adjusted young people. Raising feisty kids isn’t boring. They’ll act out anywhere, whether in line at the grocery store or at home in your living room. Whether they are happy or mad, everyone around them will know how they feel. These children remain active most of the time, and can be seen as aggressive.
