The bestseller now in paperback! Emotionally intense children – this is how Nora Imlau describes boys and girls who are different from other children from birth: wilder, more demanding, and with stronger needs. But at the same time, they are also more sensitive, vulnerable, and delicate. One in seven children is born with this unique way of personality development. Yet many parents feel very alone when their child is the only baby who hates the stroller, doesn’t want to lie on the mat during postnatal classes, cannot fall asleep alone even as a preschooler, and still needs a lot of help managing their intense emotional outbursts in school age. With her usual expertise and empathy, Nora Imlau explores why emotionally intense children differ so much from their peers and what they need from their parents to learn a healthy way to cope with their intense emotions. Plus: practical support for typical stress and conflict situations with emotionally intense children – from getting dressed to attending kindergarten and school, and even brushing teeth. Includes assessment sheets for parents and children.
