Както и “Свръхчувствителните хора”, тази също ми беше много полезна. Ако имате съмнения, че детето ви е свръхчувствително, препоръчвам да в прочетете:) 365 I have a sensitive child who is easily overwhelmed. I have realized that I do not parent him in a way that helps him thrive.

This book did not help me because it told me that for him to thrive, I can never appear to be upset in front of him, never raise my voice, never make him eat anything he doesn't want to, never force him to be in a situation he finds himself uncomfortable in...basically let him live in a totally unrealistic world.

While I found the suggestions to be over-the-top (the author didn't force her son to learn how to drive until he was twenty-six!), I was made aware of how a sensitive child sees the world. Much more so than less sensitive children, HSC (oh, yes. It's an acronym) are cautious and oftentimes timid because they are overwhelmed by stimuli and awareness of possible consequences. Just last weekend, I saw firsthand how my sensitive child was unable to participate in an activity until his younger brother went first, showing it was safe. And it wasn't just that he was unsure or scared for himself. The entire ordeal of watching his brother stressed him out because he was much more aware of all the possible ways it could go wrong. It was really quite something to watch.

I consider myself sensitive, so I do empathize with my son and hope to be a better parent to him. I just wish the suggestions from the author were things I felt I could actually implement. Instead, I feel more discouraged that I am exactly the kind of parent who is going to ruin my child Paperback It was a very interesting book, that gave me really good insights into not only my son but my husband as well. However it was a little overboard with how perfect HSCs are. They are just human like everyone else. 9780767908726 Super interesting and insightful. Gave me some good strategies and let me feel better. Highly recommend. Psychology, Self Help, Biography Vertinga knyga, kurioje pristatomas terminas itin jautrus vaikas. O kartu ir itin jautrus asmuo. Joje radau daug naujo ir netikėto. Visų pirma apie tai, kad tokie žmonės yra, jie nėra tiesiog drovūs, ar autizmo sutrikimą turintys, ar kuo sergantys asmenys. Jie tiesiog turi tokį temperamentą. Ir jų yra apie 20 proc. tiek žmonių, tiek gyvūnų populiacijose. Pateikiama tiek informacija, kas tai yra bei testai įsivertinti jautrumai, taip pat ir daugybė informacijos, kaip padėti tokiam vaikui, kaip su juo susiderinti, nagrinėjami įvairiais amžiaus tarpsniais kylantys iššūkiai ir laimėjimai. Nemažai minčių man pasirodė vertingos kalbant ir apie visus vaikus. Verta perskaityti tiek turintiems savo vaikų, tiek dirbantiems su vaikais. Psychology, Self Help, Biography

I really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure I agree with every single thing I read in it, but no two parenting situations are ever the same, so that makes sense. It really helped me to better understand my five year old daughter who is definitely highly sensitive.

It can be so hard to see a situation from a point of view that is different than the way you have always encountered the world yourself. Everybody sees a situation based on their own life experiences and it can be hard to understand it based on emotions or feelings you yourself don't feel. It has definitely helped me understand her and be more patient with her. Her sensitivity can be so trying in many situations but it is also so beautiful in others. She can seem overdramatic at times because she feels things so deeply but she has such a deep level of empathy and understanding for others that makes me so proud. This book has absolutely helped me and I have used many of the suggestions already.

I would definitely recommend it if you feel like you have someone in your life who is highly sensitive and you yourself are not. Paperback I skimmed this book because I thought it might offer helpful techniques for handling some of my daughter's challenges. I wavered throughout the book on whether she was actually a Highly Sensitive Child, but regardless thinking about her as highly sensitive does help me to be more empathetic. And that was the most useful part of the book for me -- having a shift in mindset, imagining what it would be like to be so highly attuned to the world that the smallest changes would be upsetting. As for specific techniques for dealing with some of my daughter's challenges (e.g. group situations), I didn't gather anything particularly new. English Highly sensitive individuals are those born with a tendency to notice more in their environment and deeply reflect on everything before acting, as compared to those who notice less and act quickly and impulsively. As a result sensitive people, both children and adults, tend to be empathic, smart, intuitive, creative, careful, and conscientious (they are aware of the effects of a misdeed, and so are less likely to commit one). They are also more easily overwhelmed by high volume or large quantities of input arriving at once. They try to avoid this, and thus seem to be shy or timid. When they cannot avoid overstimulation, they seem easily upset and too sensitive. Although HSP's notice more, they do not necessarily have better eyes, ears, sense of smell or taste buds(although some do report having at least one sense that is very keen.) Mainly their brains process information more thoroughly. This processing is not just in the brain, however, since HSP children or adults have faster reflexes (a reaction usually from the spnal cord), are more affected by pain, medications, and stimulants, and have more reactive immune systems. In a sense their entire body is designed to detect and understand more precisely whatever comes in. So of course HSP's probably will not like the loud Mariachi band in the mexican restaurant, noisy birthday parties, playing fast paced team sports, or everyone watching while they give an answer in class. But if you need a guitar tuned, a clever idea for party favors, a witty play on words, or to win a game like chess that requires anticipating consequences or noticing subtle differences, your HSP is the one to have around. Lets go farther inside the mind of your HSP. Yes he/she notices more, but he/she may have a specialty. Some tune in to social cues, mainly noticing moods. Some focus on Relationships...
He is so mature for his age. Thinks too much. Her feelings are so easily hurt. She cries for other kids when they are teased or hurt.
70% HSP's are Introverts. 30% are Extroverts. Usually trained to be outgoing by family.
HSP's are marvelously aware, caring and sensitive. nightmares, intense emotions, vivid dreams, results in outbursts or shyness.
Another interesting point is that HSP's have more than likely had a mystic or spiritual experience even before learning about God or Religion. Whether in the form of meeting angels, praying, visions, hearing voices. Yet studies have shown they are sane and normal and tend to be a great influence on the world once they channel their spiritual awareness or harness their faith...
As a parent you have been given the task of raising an exceptional child...
This book really resonated with me. Learning so much more about myself. Overwhelmed. That was a word I have felt a couple of times in my life and always wondered what it meant and what was happening.
This book helped to make sense of me.
















Elaine N. Aron I am a little torn on how many stars to give this book.

On the one hand, I feel that the book definitely helped me understand my highly sensitive son better. Little things that used to annoy me, or times when I thought he was overreacting, now make more sense to me and I'm able to have more patience and understanding. I feel less overwhelmed by him and so relieved to know I'm not alone and that there's an underlying thread to many of his perplexing behaviors.

On the other hand I felt like the book was a bit too all over the place. As soon as the author would describe a behavior to expect from a highly sensitive child, she'd backpedal and say of course your child could be the opposite type of highly sensitive child, so in that case he would do this other thing instead. I realize that all children have different personalities, but I think it would have been more appropriate for the book to stick to the most common threads of behaviors in highly sensitive children and leave descriptions of the other types out. It just added clutter and confusion to the book.

Also, I did not agree with all of the parenting advice (although I didn't expect to). The author basically gives the impression that you should set up your whole life around making sure your child is at the optimum level of stimulation. I did think that many of the recommendations were very useful (how to get your child to enter a new social situation or try a new experience, how to talk with him about his feelings while still guiding him into correct behavior), but I thought many others were over the top (let him choose his own food to eat, take him shopping and let him choose all of his own clothes, use very mild punishment at all times, do whatever you can to comfort him through all tantrums, basically set up the physical environment of your home - especially his room - to be a little bubble where all of his senses are happy).

So...I am thankful to have read this book, because I do feel that I understand my son and know how to deal with him better. At the same time, I was annoyed with a lot of the book while reading and felt like my time was being wasted. So three stars it is. Elaine N. Aron Some useful stuff here - though as problematic as all such books that end up making us constantly worried we are saying or doing the wrong thing. I think so many of my generation are such anxious, neurotic parents because we read books which essentially tell us that, unless we say the precise magic words in the precise magic way at the precise magic time, we will end up ruining our children.

At the end of the day the core message here is a simple one: if your child is sensitive, accept them for that and don’t buy into the bullshit that they need to be a certain way to succeed. If they are happy with a couple of friends in the library at lunchtime, if they don’t particularly feel comfortable at parties, if they get overwhelmed and want some quiet time alone at home with a book…well, that is just dandy. Don’t try and fix them ‘cause there ain’t nothin wrong. Paperback

The bestselling author and psychologist whose books have topped 240,000 copies in print now addresses the trait of high sensitivity in children-and offers a breakthrough parenting guidebook for highly sensitive children and their caregivers.

With the publication of The Highly Sensitive Person, Elaine Aron became the first person to identify the inborn trait of high sensitivity and to show how it affects the lives of those who possess it. Up to 20 percent of the population is born highly sensitive, and now in The Highly Sensitive Child, Aron shifts her focus to highly sensitive children, who share the same characteristics as highly sensitive adults and thus face unique challenges as they grow up.

Rooted in Aron's years of experience as a psychotherapist and her original research on child temperament, The Highly Sensitive Child shows how HSCs are born deeply reflective, sensitive to the subtle, and easily overwhelmed. These qualities can make for smart, conscientious, creative children, but with the wrong parenting or schooling, they can become unusually shy or timid, or begin acting out. Few parents and teachers understand where this behavior comes from-and as a result, HSCs are often mislabeled as overly inhibited, fearful, or fussy,or classified as problem children (and in some cases, misdiagnosed with disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder). But raised with proper understanding and care, HSCs are no more prone to these problems than nonsensitive children and can grow up to be happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults.

In this pioneering work, parents will find helpful self-tests and case studies to help them understand their HSC, along with thorough advice on:
- The challenges of raising an highly sensitive child

- The four keys to successfully parenting an HSC

- How to soothe highly sensitive infants

- Helping sensitive children survive in a not-so-sensitive world

- Making school and friendships enjoyable

With chapters addressing the needs of specific age groups, from newborns through teens, The Highly Sensitive Child delivers warmhearted, timely information for parents, teachers, and the sensitive children in their lives.
