This audiobook is the product of my own experience of taking care of a highly sensitive child.

Story
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.

Story
Are you the parent of a highly sensitive child, and are you looking for some advice to raise them good and happy? Raising a highly sensitive child can be a challenging task. But it is not as difficult as you might think. All children are born with an innate sensitivity to their environment. The things that would create an emotional response in a child can overwhelm the senses of a highly sensitive child so that they withdraw or react excessively. To raise a highly sensitive child, you must understand what it means to have Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) traits.

Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attentionseeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive disciplinarians. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach.

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.
