About this listen

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.

Great insight

This book was recommended by my counselor and it offers great insight to being a male HSP. At times it was triggering but always thought-provoking. This book should be part of expiration to self every HSP does, at least for males or parents of HSP boys.

Eye opening

Reading the strong sensitive boy was an empowering experience as the mother of a sensitive boy. For the first time to hear someone speaking about sensitivity as a normal (20% of the population) and positive attribute was wonderful.

This book is informative and provides tips on how to deal with our society’s misunderstanding of sensitive males. A must read for all.
