Summer Book Series #3: The Highly Sensitive Child

Calm and Connected Podcast

Today’s installment of my book series covers the book ‘The Highly Sensitive Child’ by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. I read this book over COVID and it totally changed the way I look at kids, how to spot what’s going on with them in order to help them. In this episode, I go over the 4 areas in which high sensitivity presents itself so you can better see if your child is highly sensitive.

The topics I cover in this episode are:

High sensitivity in children

The D.O.E.S acronym

The high sensitivity screening

Working through the book as a parent with high sensitivity

How the book works through different developmental stages
