English-Pashto My Feelings Are Hurt

Reach for this book when your child comes home from school or play feeling deeply wounded by a peer's comment, or when you notice they seem more affected by social friction than their siblings or friends. It is specifically designed for children who possess a sensitive temperament and may feel a sense of shame or confusion about why they are so easily hurt. The story follows Johnny, a young boy who experiences teasing from a group of girls. Rather than focusing solely on the conflict, the narrative centers on Johnny's internal realization that his sensitivity is a natural part of his identity. By using simple language in both English and Pashto, the book helps normalize the experience of being a 'highly sensitive child' while providing a gentle bridge for bilingual families to discuss social dynamics and self-acceptance. It is an ideal choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating the sometimes harsh realities of early social life.
