The Highly Sensitive Child & The Highly Sensitive Person By Elaine N Aron 2 Books Collection Set

The Highly Sensitive Child & The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine N Aron brings together two books focused on high sensitivity in both children and adults. The collection addresses how sensitivity can be misunderstood, and offers practical guidance grounded in the author’s approach to the subject.

The Highly Sensitive Child explores the idea that 15–20% of children are highly sensitive, and notes that they may be labelled shy, introverted, fussy or faddy. It sets out to help parents recognise what is really happening, understand when to step back, and consider how to support their child in a school setting. The Highly Sensitive Person looks at coping when the world feels overwhelming, with reference to experiences such as being easily affected by noise, confusion, crowded parties or hectic office life.
