Summary:
"With the publication of The
Highly
Sensitive
Person, Elaine Aron became the first person to identify the inborn trait of 'high sensitivity' and to show how it affects the lives of those who possess it. Up to 20 percent of the population is born
highly
sensitive
, and now in The
Highly
Sensitive
Child
, Aron shifts her focus to
highly
sensitive
children
, who share the same characteristics as
highly
sensitive
adults and thus face unique challenges as they grow up. Rooted in Aron's years of experience as a psychotherapist and her original research on
child
temperament, The
Highly
Sensitive
Child
shows how HSCs are born deeply reflective,
sensitive
to the subtle, and easily overwhelmed. These qualities can make for smart, conscientious, creative
children
, but with the wrong parenting or schooling, they can become unusually shy or timid, or begin acting out. Few parents and teachers understand where this behavior comes from-and as a result, HSCs are often mislabeled as overly inhibited, fearful, or 'fussy,' or classified as 'problem
children
' (and in some cases, misdiagnosed with disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder). But raised with proper understanding and care, HSCs are no more prone to these problems than nonsensitive
children
and can grow up to be happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults. In this pioneering work, parents will find helpful self-tests and case studies to help
them
understand their HSC, along with thorough advice on: The challenges of raising an
highly
sensitive
child
; The four keys to successfully parenting an HSC ; How to soothe
highly
sensitive
infants ;
Helping
sensitive
children
survive in a not-so-sensitive
world
; Making school and friendships enjoyable. With chapters addressing the needs of specific age groups, from newborns through teens, The
Highly
Sensitive
Child
delivers warmhearted, timely information for parents, teachers, and the
sensitive
children
in their lives."--Publisher.
