Product Description
The bestselling leader and psychologist whose books have topped 240,000 copies in print now addresses the trait of “high sensitivity” in children–and offers a leap forwards parenting guidebook for highly sensitive children and their caregivers.
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 persons 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 devious, and easily overwhelmed. These qualities can make for smart, conscientious, creative children, but with the incorrect parenting or schooling, they can become unusually shy or timid, or start acting out. Few parents and teachers know where this behavior comes from–and as a result, HSCs are regularly 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 pleased, healthy, well-adjusted adults.
In this pioneering work, parents will find helpful self-tests and case studies to help them know 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 pacify highly sensitive infants
• Helping sensitive children survive in a not-so-sensitive world
• Building school and friendships enjoyable
With chapters addressing the needs of point age groups, from newborns through teens, The Highly Sensitive Child delivers warmhearted, timely information for parents, teachers, and the sensitive children in their lives.

If you are the parent of a child who cries easily, has deep thoughts, is very mature, extremely compassionate, perfectionist, passionate. You should read this book. Also you should try Magnesium lotion. Why? Read the Magnesium Miracle and additional books about magnesium transdermal treatment. Magnesium is essential for the nervous system. Magnesium deficiency hinders the nerve cells to give or receive messages properly. The cells become excitable and very reactive. This causes kids to become highly sensitive and nervous. Noises will seem tremendously loud and lights can appear extremely bright. Magnesium relaxes. Agreed orally can cause diarrhea, but not if applied on the skin. Read the medical journals and you will confirm it.
I have to mention that magnesium lotions have a trend to sting a small bit, but it disappears quickly. The Magnesium Miracle

Les cuento como encontré este libro: Mi hija siempre fue de llorar por poca cosa (para mi), y en all-purpose no me preocupaba demasiado por ello, pensando que era su forma de ser. Pero este año, al empezar la escuela (1er grado) noté que en alguna ocasión sus compañeros se burlaban de ella por esta característica, y eso le hacía mal a ella. Entonces me puse a buscar desesperadamente algo de información para ver como la podía ayudar y encontré este libro.
Al leerlo me quedé impresionada, porque todas, todas las características se cumplían en mi hija. Si bien yo sabía que ella era muy sensible, ciertas características de ella, no las asociaba para nada a esa sensibilidad, como ser: cuando se quejaba por las etiquetas y costuras de las prendas, porque el buzo le quedaba demasiado justo, por el agua muy caliente (cuando para mi estaba casi fría), por sus reacciones exageradas (para mi) al dolor, por encontrarla llorando en una fiesta y no entender porqué y al preguntarle ella contestaba entre llantos, como si le estuviera pasando algo grave: “es que hay mucho ruido…”, etc.
Por otro lado siempre me impresionó su gran madurez, sus reflexiones, sus grandes preguntas a edades muy tempranas, su perfeccionismo, su preocupación por los demás, etc.
El libro me ha ayudado a identificar las características en ella que se deben a ser altamente sensible, a entenderlas mejor y a manejar de mejor forma las diferentes situaciones que se presentan al tener una niña con estas características.

As a mother of a sensitive child it was nice to see a book out there that does not condemn this or tells you push, push, push. A lot of what she said made sense I just felt like she was really into her theme matter and perhaps was a small too wordy. The overall theme of listen, know and validate was a excellent one.

Not only a fantastic book for parents of sensitive children, it is also a excellent book for babysitters and daycare teachers, and for parents to share with them as part of being an advocate for your child’s development. …
