Summary of Dr. Elaine N. Aron's The Highly Sensitive Child

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 If you've received comments like these, it's a sign that you have a highly sensitive child. You know that if you follow the well-intentioned advice, your child will suffer. #2 There is no such thing as a sensitive child. Every child is different, and each parent will have to figure out what works best for their child. #3 The trait of sensitivity is not the same as introversion.
It is a normal human variation that is found in 15 to 20 percent of the population. It is not inherently shy or neurotic, and many who are not sensitive are also not inherently shy or neurotic. #4 The 20 percent of the population that is highly sensitive typically understand the concept immediately, while the 80 percent that is not sensitive do not understand and may even answer no to every item on the questionnaire.
