Story4.5 out of 5 stars 68
Statistics show that 50 percent of what determines divorce is genetic temperament. And, if you are one of the 20 percent of people who are born highly sensitive, the risk of an unhappy relationship is especially high. Your finely tuned nervous system, which picks up on subtleties and reflects deeply, would be a romantic asset if both you and your partner understood you better. But without that understanding, your sensitivity is likely to be making your close relationships painful and complicated.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 307
When facing challenges, unpleasant tasks, and contentious issues such as homework, screen time, food choices, and bedtime, children often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is what New York Times best-selling authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson call a No Brain response. But our kids can be taught to approach life with openness and curiosity. Parents can foster their children's ability to say yes to the world and welcome all that life has to offer, even during difficult times.

Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the best-selling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures.

If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), you're in good company. HSPs make up some 20 percent of the population, individuals like you who both enjoy and wrestle with a finely tuned nervous system. You often sense things that others ignore such as strong smells, bright lights, and the crush of crowds. Even the presence of strangers in your immediate vicinity can cause you considerable distraction.

When your child has problems regulating his or her emotions, there's no hiding it. Children with intense emotions go from zero to 100 in seconds and are prone to frequent emotional and behavioral outbursts that leave parents feeling bewildered and helpless. Other parents may have told you that it's just a phase or that your child needs discipline.

Publisher's Summary
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. Now, Aron shifts her focus to highly sensitive children.
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.
In this pioneering work, parents will find helpful self-tests and case studies to help them understand their HSC along with thorough advice on parenting a highly sensitive child. 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.

Finally! I know I’m not crazy and i can nurture my own HSC!
Although, at times I sense Elaine’s personal opinion too much, I loved the book. I was finally able to understand myself, my lack of nurturing I received as a child, but most importantly, I know what my son needs.

More like how to coddle your sensitive child
I chose to listen to this audio book because I have been having difficulties with my HSC. Upon listening, I learned that I was very much an HSC and definitely NOT an HSP an adult. She say it's not an ailment to be "cured". I strongly disagree. Living in this world is much easier an an adult that is not an HSP.
I identified my son as an HSP and listened to this book in hopes of hearing some recommendations about how to encourage him out of those tendencies. I was very disappointed to listen to the lack of insight on this. I work in the medical field and a direct correlation between HSP and fibromyalgia, chronic pain and other physical ailments. To say suggest that these are not conditions to be cured is ridiculous. We live in a society which would prefer to medicate these conditions away. I would love to see what the research would have to say about the benefits of recognizing the HSP characteristics in fibromyalgia (etc.) and and focusing treatment on the underlying characteristics. This book was a huge disappointment.
