Summary: Enriching
Comment: I purchased this book, hoping to learn more about my 8-year old child's behavior traits so that I could commingle our characteristics and avoid damaging his spirit when I criticize or discipline-not to pamper but to nurture. This book did just that, plus more. The Highly Sensitive Child : Helping Our Children Thrive When the World Overwhelms Them is a very good read. It provides a lot of information about how highly-sensitive people react to certain stimuli and suggestions for different situations. It's educational and entertaining and the author's prose is straightforward. I selected this book from the many others on similar topics simply because the title hit home. It struck a cord and I knew this was it. I was right.
Not only was I reading about my child, I discovered that I am an HSP as well. I was not aware of the term "highly sensitive" until now. I plan to read more on the subject and keep this book around for my child to use later on in life. I now feel that we are in a win-win position for the long term.
Thank you, Dr. Elaine Aron, for writing this book and for sharing your personal experience on this subject.

Summary: Good advice, Too wordy
Comment: For someone who hasn't read a lot of parenting books, this might be a great book, but for the reader who has read a parenting book or two and just needs some specific tips, everything is over-explained and just too wordy. I found myself skimming and just reading the headlines, because it is so repetitive and explains everything as if you had become a parent yesterday. A decent editor could have cut down this book to half the size and packed in the same information.
If you have a sensitive kid, the book still is very good and will give you a good sense of what things to watch out for and how to adjust your parenting style. If you read quickly then it won't be too much of a burden for you, either. To me it was very helpful with my sensitive child and my sensitive husband and sensitive sister. It gives you a new perspective and does let you know that you aren't alone with these problems.

Summary: Like a guide book to my child! A true revelation!
Comment: From the start I knew a had a higher maintenance kid than my friends' kids (lots of high highs and low lows & very fussy and picky and extremely aware of everything that is going on around her) - but I was always in denial of it - until I read this book. This book is a godsend to our family. Me, my husband and my child are all happier people after reading this book. We've purchased a copy to give to the teachers at school. I am so grateful for this book. A load of stress has been eliminated from our lives.
