"To have an exceptional child you must be willing to have an
exceptional child. You have one. And this book will teach you how
to raise him to be not only exeptional, but healthy, loving,
well-adjusted, and happy." Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. Praise for The
Highly Sensitive Person: ''This remarkable book speaks clearly to
highly sensitive people. It gives a fresh perspective, a sigh of
relief, and a good sense of where we belong in society.'' JOHN GRAY,
author of Men are from Mars, Women are from
內容簡介:
The bestselling author and psychologist whose books have
topped 240,000 copies in print now addresses the trait of “high
sensitivity” in children–and offers a breakthrough 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 those 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 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. Few parents and teachers understand where this behavior comes
from–and as a result, HSCs are often 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 happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults.
In this pioneering work, parents will find helpful self-tests and
case studies to help them understand 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 soothe highly sensitive infants
? Helping sensitive children survive in a not-so-sensitive
world
? Making school and friendships enjoyable
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
