Understanding Highly Sensitive Children Lanny McConnel

For all you parents with sensitive children, this book celebrates it and helps the parents to bring out the positive aspects of having a sensitive child but also helps to coach parents with techniques to deal with the sensitive child when their emotions run high in a very constructive and loving way! Highly recommend the book!

In this book, the psychologist focuses on the sometimes challenging task of parenting an emotionally sensitive child. The book shows how to recognize our child's temperament and it addresses vulnerabilities that can come with sensitivity such as stress, worry, and low mood. The book also looks at ways that we can bolster sensitive children's social and emotional health; and how we can build on their unique strengths. A strong emphasis is placed on seeking to understand, respect, and work with sensitive children and how mothers and fathers can learn more about themselves in the process.
