Empower your highly sensitive child to unlock the power of sensitivity as they learn to understand and identify their emotions, express their needs calmly, and create helpful routines-with this fun, empowering activity book for highly sensitive kids ages 6 and up.

Empower your highly sensitive child to unlock the power of sensitivity as they learn to understand and identify their emotions, express their needs calmly, and create helpful routines-with this fun, empowering activity book for highly sensitive kids ages 6 and up.

An estimated 15 to 20 percent of people are born with a nervous system that is more aware of (and reactive to) sensory stimuli. Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) is not a diagnosis in need of treatment, and in fact comes with many strengths-highly sensitive people are known for being empathetic, creative, passionate, and intelligent. However, since a highly sensitive child experiences the world a little differently, they may easily become overwhelmed or anxious. Luckily, there are practical, approachable solutions to help ease this feeling of overwhelm.

This warm, engaging workbook, written by a licensed child therapist and parent coach, is filled with activities designed to help children develop skills to prevent overstimulation as they learn to harness the strengths that come with their sensitivity. From identifying their feelings to challenging negative thinking patterns, kids, guided by their parents, will practice skills that will help them feel calmer and more in control-forming better relationships with family and friends and easing problems at school.

A bonus section at the end

of each chapter encourages kids and their families to practice the skills

they've learned for even greater success.

The Highly Sensitive Child's Workbook features-

SIX
