Their excitement is viewed as excessive, their high energy as hyperactivity, their persistence as nagging, their <strong>imagination as not paying attention</strong>, their passion as being disruptive, their strong emotions and sensitivity as immaturity, and their creativity and self-directedness as oppositional. This book describes these <strong>overexcitabilities</strong>, as well as strategies for dealing with children and adults who experience them. It also provides essential information on Dabrowski&rsquo;s Theory of Positive Disintegration. Learn practical <strong>methods for nurturing sensitivity, intensity, perfectionism</strong>, and much more.</p>
