WHAT is a "highly sensitive" child??

"A highly sensitive child is one of the fifteen to twenty percent of children born with a nervous system that is highly aware and quick to react to everything. This makes them quick to grasp subtle changes, prefer to reflect deeply before acting, and generally behave conscientiously. They are also easily overwhelmed by high levels of stimulation, sudden changes, and the emotional distress of others."  E.Aron PH.D

Elaine Aron PHD wrote this book, that I SOOOOO want to read!  Have you read it?
Well, it's on my Christmas WISH LIST, and I hope to have a review for  you soon!
I thought her expanation of "sensitive" was quite helpful, so much that in the quote above I  highlighted it for you :)
