The Highly Sensitive Child: Helping Our Children Thrive When the World Overwhelms Them by Elaine N. Aron

5.0

I loved this book! It has helped me see my role as parent in a different way. It has changed how I view the way my parents raised me. There are so many good tips in it for parents of children who are "shy," who need to look around and take everything in before they commit to something, even something desirable. I liked it so much that I bought it.

EDIT: 2nd read-through was not as great...I felt that the author mostly said, "be more gentle, unassuming, blah blah blah..." when addressing EVERY type of problem. Okay, some sensitive children are confident and could use a little less coddling! Still a good book for understanding sensitive people, especially children.
