review 1: When I asked for this book, I thought it was going to be about extra sensitive children, and in a way, it is. Yet it seems to focus more on children who have some sort of sixth sense. Children who have powers that we, as a conventional society do not today recognize.[return][return]I think the author did sensitive children a disservice by making the focus be on something that most of society does not believe in. The parenting and discussion advice were good, but undermined by the author's insistence on paranormal abilities. [return][return]It's not that I agree or disagree with the idea behind paranormal degrees of empathy, it's that I think that this book could have truly helped a wide range of sensitive children if the author had chosen not to tred into uncertain waters ... morewith her opinions about a possible sixth sense.
review 2: Fascinating. I did a paper on mirror neurons in college and always insisted that if there were people with under-active empathy, there must be those with over-active empathy. So there are. I think my child is one of them.He doesn't fit all criteria, and it's quite obvious his teenage hormones are starting to cloud his abilities... but it all makes sense now!However, this book is, even for ME, a little on the hippie-dippy side. Emotional Hygiene? Really?An interesting read- I am off to check out Indigo Children now. less
