Abstract

As a parent of a highly sensitive child, it’s often difficult to know how to respond to their emotions. You might feel overwhelmed, frustrated or unsure of how to handle your child’s big feelings. Up to 30% of children are highly sensitive. They are reflective, perceptive and highly attuned to their environment, but they are frequently misunderstood and labelled as ‘shy’ or ‘fussy’ when, in fact, they simply experience the world more intensely than others. This thoughtful and practical guide offers parents expert advice on how to support their sensitive child through meltdowns, anxiety and other overwhelming emotions. Learn how to set effective boundaries while navigating challenges like separation anxiety, school stress and social interactions. Packed with actionable tips, this book will empower you to better understand your child and help them thrive in a world that can sometimes feel too much.
