By Rosella Campbell


When a boy is in his teen years, it is here that he will have the most problems when it comes to his self esteem because it is in this part of his life that he will be trying to find his identity. Because of this, he will be trying to fit in a lot with a lot of other people in order to try to build up that esteem of his. In order to make sure that he does not go down the wrong path, it is always best for parents to buy some self esteem books for boys in these years.

Now the book named Developing Emotional Literacy with Teenage Boys is definitely one of the best books targeted to males who are in this age. This book was written by one of the most famous inspirational authors whose name is Tina Rae. This book aims to take a closer look into the heads of young men at this age.

Basically, this book is about trying to shape up the emotional state of boys who are at this age. During this time, they are trying to fit in so that they can feel like they are actually worth something because they feel that their worth is based on how other people perceive them. The book offers techniques on how to build up the confidence of teen boys so that they can be able to find their own path.

Next on the list would be a book that is entitled Battlefield of the Mind. Now this book was actually written for a Christian audience because it was written by Joyce Meyer, a Christian author. However, if one would read the book, he will realize that aside from the mentioning of faith and the like, it is actually a great book for non Christians as well.

Now the basic premise of this book, aside from developing strong faith, would be to know how to get rid of negative thoughts. Although this book does not target the adolescents specifically, it does tell about how people in general can actually control thoughts that could bring down their self esteem. This is what makes the book very helpful for those males in their adolescent years.

One of the best of them all for males of this age would be one written by William Pollack. This piece of work is entitled Real Boy, Rescuing our Sons from Myths of Boyhood. Not only does the book contain insights from the author but also studies from real psychologists.

Now one of the main things that the book would concentrate on would be how society looks at men. Men are actually expected to take the bout of any problem like how a real man should. Real men are not allowed to complain, cry, and show any form of negative emotion.

One of the expectations of society would be that men would suck in their problems and just solve them. The author debunks this kind of perception and encourages parents to let their sons express how they fell and cry if they have to. That way, they will be lead to the right direction because of the right guidance.
