Supporting the Highly Sensitive Child: Making Sense of Meltdowns:

by James Williams, Lucy Skye

Overview

It's not easy to be a highly sensitive child. Nor is it always easy to raise, care for, guide and teach a highly sensitive child. Because the highly sensitive child experiences the world a little differently, and that can be difficult to understand.

This simple, concise book steps beyond a basic understanding of high sensitivity, looking at the challenges and distress that meltdowns can cause for highly sensitive children. And for you. A meltdown can be a terrifying experience for a highly sensitive child and for people witnessing it. This guide gives you the confidence to understand what having a meltdown means, and the knowledge to provide support and comfort.
We help you to navigate the reasons why meltdowns happen and how to prevent them where possible, as well as the vital need to be compassionate and caring with yourself and others when they do occur.

About the Author

Mindful Daddy, Counsellor MBACP and author helping highly sensitive children to be better understood and supported.

High sensitivity has a massive impact on my family’s life, and coming to understand the trait has transformed our lives – for the better. Before we understood high sensitivity we were bumbling about in the dark; now we’re in the light.

I wish the entire world knew all about high sensitivity and mindfulness for that matter. How much easier life would be for highly sensitive children and people if everyone understood them, and accepted them for who they are. All I can do is keep spreading the word, and hope that eventually everyone connected with children – teachers, health professionals, care workers, parents – recognise, value and nurture high sensitivity.
