[From Back Cover of Book]
As pioneering psychotherapist Elaine Aron shows in this groundbreaking book, if your child seems overly inhibited, particular, or you worry that he or she may have a disorder such as Attention Deficit Disorder or Asperger's Syndrome, he or she may simply be highly sensitive. And raised with proper understanding and care, highly sensitive children can grow up to be happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults.
Rooted in Dr. Aron's years of experience working with highly sensitive children and their families, as well as in her original research on child temperament, The Highly Sensitive Child explores the challenges of raising an HSC; the four keys to successfully parenting and HSC; how to help HSCs thrive in a not-so-sensitive world; and how to make school and friendships enjoyable. With chapters addressing the needs of specific age groups, from newborns to teens, The Highly Sensitive Child is the ultimate guidebook for parents, teachers, and the sensitive children in their lives.
ELAINE N. ARON, PH.D., is the bestselling author of The Highly Sensitive Person and its companion workbook, as well as The Highly Sensitive Person in Love. A highly sensitive person herself, she has conducted extensive research in the field of family relationships, maintains a private psychotherapy practice, and leads HSP workshops around the country.
