Highly Sensitive Children

Elaine Aron, author of The Highly Sensitive Person, has released The Highly Sensitive Child to address the parenting needs of this group of children who represent approximately 20% of all children. Children exhibiting heightened intuitive abilities and/or exceptional spiritual maturity could be called Highly Sensitive Children, the 1-2% of the total.  Read about her new book in this article. Evaluate if your child is that 1-2% by doing this quiz.

"I have two children, aged five and seven. Both have shown unusual abilities and dispositions from an early age. My daughter is extremely sensitive, physically and emotionally; has many allergies and, while extremely bright is borderline autistic; reads my mind with surprising ease, and is aware of presences and energies that I do not begin to understand. Ever since my son has been able to talk, we have been aware that he is wise for his years, committed to truth, and surrounded by spirit.

I trust Kate implicitly to help me with aiding and encouraging these two small beings along their path. She has impressed me time and again with her deep understanding of  the sometimes unfathomable journey that they are on, and her resonance with the particular problems that they face, given her own past as a highly intuitive child. I am very grateful to have her advice and guidance.

I’m eager to attend the workshop in order to meet other parents and children, so that my kids don’t feel completely alone, maybe make new friends, and learn more just to make life easier for them.

Being sensitive or highly intuitive can be such a lonely experience, and I am so happy that Kate is taking this opportunity to address that. Thank you so much."

Nicola G., mother of two, Unionville

"Often neglected, overlooked or misunderstood by parents and teachers, this sixth sense in children creates a variety of problems for them in a world geared to logical problem solving. In school, at home and with friends, intuitive children begin to have problems when they are told to concentrate on their lessons, to sit down and be quiet and to listen. These children are taught that the intuitiveness they have come to rely on is to be ignored."

Litany Burns, author of The Sixth Sense of Children: Nurturing Your Child's Intuitive Abilities
