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. \u003ci\u003eThe Highly Intuitive Child\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver medalists, 2010 Independent Book Publishers Association Ben Franklin Awards \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A gentle and insightful approach to parenting children with highly intuitive abilities or sensitivities.
