Description
40 HABITS FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE CHILDREN
Book Summary
This book offers a practical and comprehensive guide for parents and educators living with highly sensitive children. Written by child development professionals and mothers of highly sensitive children, the work provides tools to identify this personality trait and understand its implications. Through 40 guided activities, the authors propose the acquisition of key habits that favor the child's integral development in physical, cognitive, social, and emotional areas, optimizing their self-care and facilitating conscious parenting adapted to their specific needs.
What is it about?
The book addresses the daily challenge of raising a child with high sensitivity, a trait that brings qualities such as greater creativity, empathy, and capacity for enjoyment, but which also entails a greater susceptibility to overstimulation and difficulty managing intense emotions. The authors, Débora Ruiz Rodrigo and Rosario Jiménez Echenique, offer a two-fold approach: first, the necessary information to determine if a child is highly sensitive and understand the key differences from other children; second, a series of practical, guided activities designed to establish routines and habits that boost their well-being. The approach is eminently practical, proposing concrete steps for conscious parenting, addressing the child's self-care from an integral perspective that encompasses the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional realms.
