## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book.  Life-changing for me.
*by R***N on January 26, 2020*

I found this book, along the the author’s book The Highly Sensitive Person, to be life-changing. By far the most important self-help books I’ve ever come across. These books explain why my children and I (and others in my life) struggle with certain things, enjoy certain things, and require certain things. Once I understood these concepts, embraced what that meant in my life and the lives of my kids, and began to apply the author’s suggestions, I felt like a new person - not flawed or inadequate, but whole, unique, and free to be exactly the person I was meant to be. Like a friend said, I now understand myself much better and realize why I am the way I am, without looking for excuses.I found this series of books at a time when my toddler son was struggling at school and seemed overwhelmed by life. (Through tears) I did an Internet search for “can a child be too sensitive” and found these books. Wow.I regularly pick up these books when I’m having a tough day, open to a random page, and am reminded of what being a highly sensitive person means. I share copies with anyone in my life - friends, other parents, medical and educational professionals - who I think can benefit from them. I recommend this book to anyone with a child who seems to have a more sensitive disposition than other kids. I really cannot say enough good things about it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Aron sheds light on the truth between sensitivity and shyness
*by J***E on July 6, 2016*

As an HSP myself, reading "The Highly Sensitive Child" offered invigorating insight into the mind and heart of my oldest daughter, who is also highly sensitive. For many years, she and I have butted heads over nearly everything, and after reading this book, I was both humbled and empowered to reach her in a new way.Dr. Elaine Aron's practical tips in each chapter, particularly breaking down the developmental age groups, were refreshing, clear, and easy to implement. My husband and I have been discussing, at length, how we can foster our daughter's gifts in a more meaningful way and reframe her sensitivity as neutral, rather than the perceived "bad" that the world defines it as.My favorite aspect of the book included recognizing how highly sensitive children require lots of rest, breaks, and sleep; that they thrive within a routine and usually need help transitioning with life changes; how to help them cope with verbal or social aggression at school; and ways to facilitate conversation with older children or role play with younger ones. Our daughter was bullied in preschool, and my husband and I approached her teacher, to no avail. Had I read this book beforehand, I would have been able to offer concrete solutions on how to understand and help HSCs with the "teacher tips" at the end of the book.Having read "The Highly Sensitive Person" before "The Highly Sensitive Child," I would "highly" recommend both books, especially if a parent suspects that his/her child may be highly sensitive, as well. Both together offer a full picture into understanding oneself and children who may have been labeled "shy" (which is situational), but who are actually just sensitive.A great read for parents and teachers alike.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing to understand their little world!
*by J***M on September 12, 2024*

My kid is extremely sensitive and our psychologist recommended this book. It has helped us understand how he feels and how to manage certain emotions and situations. Highly recommended!
