Ted Zeff, a psychologist, looks at the particular difficulties faced by boys who feel things deeply and react strongly to the world around them. He offers guidance for parents, teachers and other mentors on understanding these sensitive boys and supporting them. The aim is to help such boys grow into men who are self-assured, emotionally healthy and content with who they are, rather than trying to make them conform to a narrower idea of masculinity. Practical advice runs through the book, showing adults how to respond in ways that build confidence and strength. Written for those who care for these children, it treats sensitivity as a quality to nurture.
