Synopsis

Some children can walk into a room and feel "the vibe" instantly in their body. Others may tune into an unspoken family conflict, or tell someone to "be careful" before stumbling into an unknown situation. These may seem to be the normal human qualities of intuition and empathy, but in highly intuitive children (and adults), such traits are supercharged. Growing up in a culture that favors the rational and the five senses can be difficult for gifted children. This book shows parents, teachers, and therapists how to help them -- and those around them -- embrace and exercise their gift. The Highly Intuitive Child covers a wealth of topics including: how to easily identify the intuitive child; how life is different for them; the 10 skills they must master before leaving home; the connections between neuroscience and intuition; what other cultures can teach us about supporting intuitive children; "indigo" children; success stories; and much more.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

If you know a child who can walk into a room and instantly feel the "vibe," who warns you to be careful right before you stumble into a dangerous situation and who constantly tunes into unspoken family conflicts, you might know a highly intuitive child. Highly intuitive children go by many names indigo, empath, psychic but whatever the label, underneath it is a child trying to cope with more emotional and sensory input than they know what to do with. Catherine Crawford, a psychotherapist, has written the book that gives parents, teachers and therapists the advice and techniques they need to help intuitive children thrive. She tells readers how to identify highly intuitive children, why life is different for them and the special challenges presented to them by home life, school and society. The author, also, gives valuable advice on how to help these children process, filter and stay in control of the barrage of emotions and feelings that they are subject to. Life for these children is challenging as they grow up in a society that favours the rational, the five senses and the mindset that "seeing is believing." This book demystifies the world of the intuitive child and their sixth sense in a balanced way.
