The real story is very different though and this practical 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. It provides parents with insights and information so they can understand high sensitivity, and help their highly sensitive child thrive in the world. It is important for these children to be understood so they can be helped to avoid the common traps of shyness and withdrawal that many highly sensitive children fall into as they develop. It contains a questionnaire for parents to find out if their child has the traits common in highly sensitive children. It also discusses HSC's at different ages - infant, toddler, school-age and adolescent. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Highly sensitive child Helpful book. Helps to identify sensitive children and ways to make their life and your life more plesant.

It's helped us question some of the labels that therapists are quick to place on kids these days (bipolar, ADD, oppositional, ...

My son has, since birth, been a highly sensitive person, bothered by noises, lights, changes in routine, etc. But for some reason, I had never put them together as part of one temperament. Now I see that his terror at the sound of fireworks, his shielding his eyes from bright sunlight, his extreme discomfort at tags on his clothes or if his shoes are not on just right, his disliking of hats or anything coming ... Read More Rating: - Insight This book really offered me insight into the life of a highly sensitive child. My son has been this way since birth, but I didn't realize it until his pre-k teacher pulled me aside and told me she thought he was a very sensitive child. She meant it in a nice way, but a concerned way too because he was having problems adjusting to and interacting with the other children in the classroom. I always thought he was "just being difficult", but now I have a better perspective on why he reacts to certain ...
