<p>Sally&#39;s son Ben was more physically and emotionally reactive. More empathetic and easily overwhelmed. As part of a small subset of the population considered Highly Sensitive, Ben processed the world more intensely. Part memoir, part &nbsp;parenting guide, <em>High Sensitivity: What our son Ben taught me&nbsp;</em>demystifies high sensitivity by chronicling Ben&#39;s life, which was tragically cut short by an unrelated illness. Sally, a certified counsellor, guides parents through the joys and pitfalls of raising a child with high senstivity, while imparting wisdom on how to best serve their child&#39;s development into a functioning, happy adult.</p>
