The Empathic Parent’s Guide to Raising a Highly Sensitive Child

Parenting Strategies I Learned to Understand and Nurture My Child's Gift

By: Freeda Meighan

Narrated by: Stephanie Barry

Have other people called your child "too sensitive"? Do you have children who cry too easily or have too many particular demands? Have you felt at a loss on how to confront your child who may be too emotional and flies off into tantrums easily?

Then, your child may be a highly sensitive child.

High sensitivity is a personality trait that may not be common, but exists in 15 to 20 percent of our population. They are ordinary people, but highly sensitive people (HSP) or highly sensitive children (HSC) may just have some particular needs not shared by everyone.

Having a highly sensitive child may be challenging for parents, and many have searched for resources on how to take care of them. This audiobook is the product of my own experience of taking care of a highly sensitive child.

Hopefully, the insights I have gathered from my personal experience with a sensitive child may also help other parents take better care of their highly sensitive children.

In this audiobook, you will learn:

• The definition of highly sensitive person
• Causes of such a personality trait
• Ways for disciplining a HSC
• Proper attitude and approaches to adopt when caring for a highly sensitive child
• Issues that may hound a HSC in their adulthood

Get this book and you will never look at your child in the same way again. You will learn to appreciate the gifts of your child’s sensitivity and even be thankful you had one.

May your parenting problems find confidence in this book, dedicated to the creativity of highly sensitive persons!

Perfect for the concerned parent

Love the step by step explanations and thorough examples! Perfect for parents who are lost and confused about their child's behavior.

Expected more

This is so vague. It’s short and easy to digest but really doesn’t get to anything from my point of view. Since it’s short it’s ok to read

eh

doesn't really tell you how to help raise them just how to tell if they are or not.

From a highly empathetic person

I got this book because I knew a child this might apply to, and while the book is brief, it is very informative. Its one you’ll want to listen to more than once, learning how to best help highly sensitive children. If you know a highly sensitive child, you can hear the author paint a picture of them with the kind of accuracy that only comes from personal experience. If you have a sensitive child or know someone who does, this book reveals how to most effectively communicate with a highly sensitive child.

not really a strategy tool

I had higher hopes for this book.
I ended as I started it, with nothing I don't know already about how HS children behave. but pretty much zero applicable strategies. nothing I could apply today or in 10 years

Great book!

It will help you identify if you have a HSC. It will not tell you into detail how to deal with your child, but will give you a perspective of a parent with a HSC.

Thank you for writing this book!

I have a child that is emotionally sensitive and my husband and I pull our hair out sometimes. We keep thinking "oh he'll just grow out of it" or "it's a phase"...now I see this it is not the case. Thank you for writing this book. We try to prepare his teachers for some of the behaviors he might display every year but it always seems to go over their heads. Some teachers have told us "having a sensitive child is a good thing" and we don't dispute that but I don't think they realize how HSC thought processes really work until our child has a breakdown. This book is a great resource for me to share with them. I don't know how many times I had to stop and say wow with this book as it relates to our family and child. I would have never thought this was a personality trait over a problem to be solved. Wonderful book.

Learning about HSC

My 6 year old is an HSC with ADHD and my grandmother is also an HSC. Because of their differences, and listening to this audio. I was able to learn what could help me with my daughter. I also learned that my husband also is HSC and I now understand a lot more. This was very helpful.

No tangible changes

No tangible changes and no psychology only confirms there are others like this.... Wish it gave better insight on thoughts and things we can do

Not what was expected

If you are looking for a book on how to parent a child who is emotionally sensitive or maybe tender hearted this is not what the book addresses.
This book addresses children with sensory issues and possibly children that could be considered to be “on the spectrum”
