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.
