From the internationally renowned expert and internationally best-selling author of the book The Highly Sensitive Person, comes an indispensable guide for parents who are unusually sensitive to their children.

The book The Highly Sensitive Parent is the only book of its kind, written specifically for parents who think deeply about every issue affecting their children, experience intense emotions, and face unique stresses that do not affect non-highly sensitive parents.

Parenting is the most valuable and satisfying work in the world, but also one of the most challenging. This is especially true for highly sensitive people. The good news is that sensitivity can also be a parent's most valuable asset, leading to increased personal joy and a closer, happier relationship with their child.

Dr. Elaine Aron, a globally recognized author of the classic work The Highly Sensitive Person and other best-selling books on the trait of high sensitivity, has written an indispensable guide for these parents. Based on extensive research and her own experience, it helps highly sensitive parents identify and deal with the effects of their heightened sensitivity, offering:

• A self-assessment test to help parents determine their level of sensitivity
• Tools to manage overstimulation
• Advice on handling negative emotions that may surround parenting
• Ways to manage increased social stimulation and interaction that comes with having a child
• Techniques to combat shame around other parents
• Understanding of the five big problems highly sensitive parents face in relationships – and how to overcome them

Highly sensitive people have the potential to be not just good parents, but great ones. Practical yet positive, this innovative guide will show parents how to build confidence, awareness, and necessary coping skills, so that they and their child can thrive at every stage of the parenting journey.
