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.

The Highly Sensitive Child
We have a sensitive 7 year old daughter. We are trying to better understand, to better help her in day to day living. This book is great. I read so many positive reviews on it, and they are all spot on. Just validating our daughter, and doing small changes, we can see improvements already. If you have someone that can benefit, buy this book!

FINALLY!
Living in a world where no one understands your child is brutal. He is just "weird" and that's all people care to label him. Finally...someone can explain what is really going on. I highly recommend this book if there is something going on but you can't seem to put your finger on it. You know your child is wonderful, but if his emotions seem to get the better of him a lot of the time...you NEED to read this book. It has been a blessing to me and my family. Now I can honestly tell my kid that while he's not like most other kids in some ways...he is special in a GREAT way and someday, these qualities will make him a better person.
