Do you know what it takes to raise well a highly sensitive child? Are you confident that you can help your child reach their maximum potential while also keeping them healthy and happy? If you are not quite sure about how to do so, then this book is the right choice for you.

Highly sensitive children are often misunderstood not just by their peers but also by their families, teachers, and caretakers.

Many tend to mislabel them as shy or cold. Others think of them as slow or crybabies. Some may even view high sensitivity as a disorder that should be treated. However, these assumptions are both incorrect and harmful to the growth and development of HSCs.

Fortunately, more and more parents are becoming aware of this issue thanks in part to the growing research about how to better understand HSCs, how to guide them through different kinds of challenges and real-life situations, and how to nurture them into becoming the best versions of themselves.

Most importantly, you need to get your HSC to cooperate with you. None of these strategies would work if you did not take the time to explain what high sensitivity truly means, how it could affect the different aspects of their being, and how you could help them handle or cope better with the challenges they would face in day-to-day life.

Backed by years of research by several child development experts, this book shall serve as an objective guide for you as a parent of a highly sensitive child. Throughout the chapters, you will learn:

How to differentiate high sensitivity from other conditions, such as autism, sensory processing disorder, and ADHD
Effective parenting strategies to help your HSC thrive in various situations
Tips on how to guide your HSC to developing necessary life skills and abilities
Guidelines for both you and your child’s teachers to ensure your HSC will have a successful, safe, and fulfilling school life.
