If you have this book in your hands, most likely it is because you suspect that your child is a HIGH DEMAND CHILD. This is a little-known term that describes children with strong, intense, very sensitive, and highly emotional temperaments. Children who do not have any pathology or disorder, but who have personality characteristics that often complicate parenting quite a bit. Some of the traits that these children present are: hypersensitivity, constant demand for attention, excessive activity, sleep or behavioral problems, among others. Often labeled as spoiled, they are very intense children who are generally little understood by the environment and even by the parents themselves. Knowing why your child behaves this way and what their real needs are, will allow you to live a more conscious upbringing, with less stress, and more respectful of your child's personality. "From my own experience as a mother of a high demand child, I think this is an essential book to understand the needs of these demanding children. It is a revealing book, approached from a very human, practical and professional point of view". Nora Kurtin
