“A gentle and insightful approach to parenting children with highly
intuitive abilities or sensitivities. There are pearls of wisdom
here. Recommended.” ? Library Journal
Is Your Child Trying to Tell You Something?
We are all sensitive, intuitive and empathic to one degree or
another. But some of us are born more so. The highly intuitive
child may pick up on unspoken issues in the home and take on the
emotions of friends, absorb the mood in a classroom or in the world
at large and even anticipate dangerous situations.
The acutely receptive intuition of these children is always “on,”
acting as a sixth sense. Because this emotional and sensory input
is added to what they take in through the other five senses it can
be difficult to cope with, and their sensitivity can result
in
? difficulty turning “off” and falling asleep
? deep fears and anxieties that are hard to relieve
? an exaggerated sense of responsibility about healing people or
fixing situations
? psychosomatic pains, “spaciness” and difficulty making
decisions
? “acting out” stress they take in as anger or “acting in” the
sadness or pain of others as depression.
If you recognize these traits in a child, you can help.
Hearing and Helping the Sensitive Child In this practical guide,
therapist and mother Catherine Crawford provides the tools and
insight you need to recognize and honor the gifts of the intuitive
child in your life while minimizing the challenges that come with
them. These include
? 20 questions for identifying highly intuitive children
? 10 teachable skills that reduce or prevent sensory overload
? techniques for reducing stress through diet, exercise, art, play
and visualization
? guidance on how and when to seek professional help You will also
find inspiring stories of the intuitive child’s journey into
adulthood and insights into how cultures around the world embrace
the gifts of empathy and intuition. Most importantly, The Highly
Intuitive Child gives you what you need right now ? ways to
understand, nurture and celebrate the richness and complexity of
your unique child.
