ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Chi-hyun Choi is a medically trained child psychiatrist. A graduate of Seoul National University College of Medicine, he completed his residency and fellowship at the university's department of mental health. He went on to treat children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems at SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center.

From 2018 to 2021, he served as deputy chief of the Seoul Firefighters Psychological Support Unit, providing mental health services for firefighters. He currently delivers talks on a wide range of parenting-related topics in mental health welfare centers, offices of education, and other public institutions across Korea.

This book is a parent's guide to raising a sensitive child that shows how parents can help kids bring their sensitivity under control so that they can turn this temperament into a personal asset. By shedding a positive light on sensitivity, the author relieves parents' anxiety and sets them on a more fulfilling path to parenting. He presents his expert knowledge in an engaging, easy-to-understand style that avoids highly technical language and reads more like friendly advice one might offer a friend. This book was listed in the 2022 Sejong Book Award hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Kyung-sun Noh Book Award hosted by the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Choi is the author of What Is Wrong with My Child? and co-author of Fact Checks, My Child's Mental Health and Aggression and Anger Management Program for Adolescents. He translated into Korean Anxiety Relief for Kids by Bridget Flynn Walker.
