The Strong Sensitive Boy

De: Ted Zeff PhD, Elaine Aron - foreword

Narrado por: Stephen Bel Davies

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.

My life in a book

This along with Elaine’s remarkable work is the manual I’ve always needed for my existence thank you so very much!!

Better Understsnding

Although I do not agree or identify with every single thing in this book, I have walked away with a much better understanding of how my child is wired, and the science behind it. It has also helped me to understand myself better and provided useful tools. Definitely worth the read!

Ok

I finished it which is worth at least 2 stars. There’s some valuable information and tips in here but the underlying message that we should expect the rest of the world to bend to our needs is something I have a problem with. I prefer to develop courage and resilience while gently raising awareness of the existence of this beautiful but challenging trait.
