15-20% of children are Highly Sensitive – and they are often labelled shy, introverted, fussy or faddy. The real story is very different though and this intelligent, practical book helps parents know what to do, when to back off, and how to ensure their child is given the right sort of treatment at school.

“To have an exceptional child you must be willing to have an exceptional child. You have one. And this book will teach you how to raise him to be not only exeptional, but healthy, loving, well-adjusted, and happy.” Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D.Praise for The Highly Sensitive Person:‘This remarkable book speaks clearly to highly sensitive people. It gives a fresh perspective, a sigh of relief, and a good sense of where we belong in society.’ JOHN GRAY, author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Audience:• The parents of HSC’s – who will find this book fascinating. Competition:• Books like The Secret of Happy Children (Thorsons 0722536690) are the closest competition but there is no direct competition; no other titles address this big issue. This title was written after huge demand from parent readers of the Highly Sensitive Person.• Most books written about ‘problem’ children focus on more ‘extrovert’ unruly behaviour, lack of discipline or learning difficulties. HSC’s typically are bright, with a ‘quieter’ set of concerns which, without attention, can still upset the child’s development and future. This is a much needed book. Competition: No direct competition.
