About this title

Synopsis

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 nutshell guide book aims to help you experience the world from the child’s perspective, so that you can better understand them and help them to grow and thrive. In this simple, concise guide I distil the reams of information available on the highly sensitive child so that you can get the knowledge you need quickly and easily. Foreword from Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. author of the worldwide bestsellers The Highly Sensitive Person and The Highly Sensitive Child: "As the author of this truly brilliant little book, James Williams explains that he is not an academic or a psychologist. I am simply a man who feels very passionately about the subject. He is highly sensitive and so is one of his daughters, and he writes about sensitivity with both simplicity and depth. His sensitivity also shows in his book’s briefness. Caregivers of children need an author to get to the point so they can go get groceries, pick up the kids etc. James’s book can be read in an hour, yet it has charming examples as well as great suggestions and a full, scientifically accurate description of the trait. James is reaching out to all parents, carers and teachers of sensitive children and whether through this book or on his website, he is a wonderful resource."

About the Author

James Williams is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and the author of bestselling guides on high sensitivity, with over 50,000 copies sold worldwide. His books — including Understanding the Highly Sensitive Child, Supporting the Highly Sensitive Child: Making Sense of Meltdowns, and Understanding the Highly Sensitive Person — have been trusted by parents, teachers, and therapists across the globe.
James began writing when his own daughter's sensitivity inspired him to seek answers. Finding Elaine Aron's pioneering work gave him the language he needed — but he wanted to create something shorter, simpler, and more practical for busy parents. His first book, Understanding the Highly Sensitive Child, with a foreword by Dr. Aron herself, has since become a go-to introduction for families and professionals alike.
Alongside his guides, James co-authored Annie's World: There are Rainbows in the Sand, a gentle children's story that helps highly sensitive children see their differences as beautiful strengths.
Through his counselling work, writing, and new project MyHSC, James continues to support families, parents, and sensitive people of all ages with warmth, compassion, and clarity.
