As a mother of a highly sensitive baby & now a still-sensitive toddler, this book was SO helpful to me. It goes into great detail about personality types in young children & how understanding your child and NOT trying to change her is SO important. Also it made me relax about her seeming "too sensitive" to other people & taught me how to react when negative comments came our way. Also makes a big deal about building self esteem & not labeling our children as "shy"...I loved this book. I think I developed good habits early on that have stuck with me these 2 years.
