The Highly Sensitive Child
15-20 percent of children are Highly Sensitive -- and they are often labelled shy, introverted, fussy or faddy. The real story is very different though and this book helps parents know what to do, when to back off, and how to ensure their child is given the right sort of treatment at school.
Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionIt offers a detailed understanding of the characteristics and benefits of high sensitivity, allowing parents to recognise these traits in their children and differentiate them from mere shyness or introversion.
Insightful strategies are provided to help parents support their child's emotional and sensory needs, ensuring they receive the appropriate type of care and understanding both at home and in school environments.
The book is instrumental in advising how to avoid common traps such as social withdrawal or becoming overly protective. Instead, it encourages empowering the child to navigate social situations with confidence and resilience.
To assist parents further, the book features a questionnaire designed to identify if a child possesses traits of high sensitivity. This easy-to-use tool helps parents recognize and validate their child's unique characteristics, offering a personalised starting point for support strategies.
Covering various stages of a child's development, including infant, toddler, school-age, and adolescent phases, the book provides age-appropriate guidance for each stage. This ensures that parents and caregivers are well-prepared to adapt their approaches as their child grows and encounters new challenges.
Elaine N. Aron, a renowned psychologist and expert on high sensitivity, combines her extensive research with practical advice, making The Highly Sensitive Child an invaluable resource. Filled with real-life anecdotes, scientific insights, and practical recommendations, this book aims to empower parents to create an environment where their highly sensitive child can flourish.
The Highly Sensitive Child is not just a book; it's a roadmap to understanding, empathy, and effective parenting for those whose lives are touched by highly sensitive children. Embrace the journey and discover the incredible potential within your highly sensitive child.
