This book shows how some children are born deeply reflective, sensitive to the subtle, and easily overwhelmed. These qualities can make for smart, conscientious, creative children, but with the wrong parenting or schooling, they can become unusually shy or timid or begin acting out. Few parents and teachers understand where this behavior comes from and as a result, these children are often mislabeled as overly inhibited, fearful or "fussy". Some are classified as "problem children" (and in some cases, misdiagnosed with disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder). With chapters addressing the needs of specific age groups, from newborns through the teen years this book delivers warmhearted, timely information for parents, teachers and the sensitive children in their lives.
