The Strong, Sensitive Boy Description
Does your son tend to be disturbed by loud noises, violence, and crowds, fearful of new situations, easily hurt by criticism, or hesitant about playing aggressive games?
Your son may be one of the 20 percent of all boys with a finely tuned nervous system. Our sensitive boys tend to be creative, kind, and gentle, appreciating beauty and feeling love deeply. Therefore, it's particularly challenging for sensitive boys to grow up in a culture where boys are taught to act tough, aggressive, and unemotional.
In this groundbreaking book, psychologist Ted Zeff explores the unique challenges of sensitive boys, showing parents, educators, and mentors how to help sensitive boys grow into strong, happy, and confident men. Dr. Zeff offers practical advice on how to help your son increase his self-esteem and thrive in the family, at school, with friends, and in sports.
From the Publisher:This book is also important for sensitive men to read to help them heal their childhood wounds, learn how to navigate through our aggressive, overstimulating world, and accept themselves as sensitive men. This book is helpful for sensitive women since how society treats sensitive men deeply affects highly sensitive women--and all women close to sensitive males.

Let me start by saying that I, myself, am a 19 year old boy who knew there was "something wrong" with me for as long as I can remember. I have always been artistically inclined and deeply moved by emotions I always kept hidden. My parents weren't the most supportive and I really didn't "bond" with neither one of them. I decided to move out of the toxic environment that is my house and through some self-realization and self-healing I decided to order the book "The Strong, Sensitive Boy." I actually found it while browsing for other books and it caught my attention. Since I knew that I have always been a sensitive boy, I figured why not? This book has changed my life. I think this is perhaps the only book that truly helped me find myself. After reading it, I realized that I have been lying to myself all these years pretending to be something I am not. Now, as a 19 year old college student, after so many years, I have finally found myself. This book is a great healing book for those sensitive boys whose wounds were invisible to everyone else. I have never had a problem discussing my emotions with true friends who care about me and this is why I am not ashamed to recommend this book for any guy who grew up putting up a persona that the world would approve of instead of the who they truly are.
If you are a parent: Please don't belittle your sensitive son or daughter, for that matter. Take it from someone who suffered emotional and physical abuse from his parents, the wounds are real and will haunt him a lifetime. It is your job as a parent to protect him in a world in which he will most likely find himself alone. And if you are a dad, well...the only thing I can say is that you should love your son for who he is, not who you want him to be.
