High Sensitive Parenting

Bieke Geenen

Most highly sensitive children have a highly sensitive parent Built around nine triggers that can cause highly sensitive parents to be out of balance Full of practical tips and specific examples

High sensitivity seems to be hereditary to a great extent. This doesn’t make parenting easy. On the contrary. Because it’s not only your child who is highly sensitive (which demands a lot of extra care) but also you - as a parent - have to take your own pitfalls and triggers into account, so it's not easy to stay balanced.

But high sensitivity shouldn't cause any difficulties if you are able to recognize the signs and know how to act. In this book, coach Bieke Geenen explains which 9 triggers can cause highly sensitive people to lose their balance (such as criticism, tiredness, worrying and overstimulation). She provides the reader with precise measures on how to handle their high sensitivity and that of their child.
