The Sensitive Child

I picked this book up on a whim, and have been very glad I did. I had assumed that "sensitive" was synonymous with shy. Since my child was by no means shy, I didn't think I would get much out of this book. What I discovered was that there are several areas of sesitivity, and that shyness was only one area. I was often frusterated with my child who complained about the seam on her socks and clothes bothering her, and how she would get over-excited when confronted with a lot of visual stimulous and noise. This book helped me understand her in a way I never did before, and I have been able to help her learn to take control of situations so she doesn't become hyper anymore. I will always be grateful for the authors for helping me understand and help my child blossom in ways I never thought possible.
