Boys and Girls Learn Differently!: A Guide for Teachers and Parents

Editorial Review

In this profoundly significant book, author Michael Gurian synthesizes this current knowledge and clearly demonstrates how this distinction in hard-wiring and socialized gender differences affects how boys and girls learn. Gurian presents a new way to educate our children based on brain science, neurological development, and chemical and hormonal disparities.

• If your son's teacher wants you to drug him, read this book first.
  Our education system always talks the talk of "celebrating diversity," but we are pummeled by political correctness any time we acknowledge any differences.
  Michael Gurian does an exellent job presenting a lot of heavy medical and scientific research about brain differences between boys and girls. Different does not mean "inferior," and Gurian does well to present the facts about gender differences in a way that is both easy to understand and is scientific enough to combat the political correctness... more info
• Thank you!
  We need to stop worrying about offending people with talk of the differences of the genders and embrace what we are seeing and (what studies are showing). If we wonder why kids are having so much trouble we need to look at what we are doing to them and embrace the reality rather than deny the fact that we are wired differently. This is filled with critical information and ways to help our kids. I want to do the best for my son and daughter and I thank Michael Gurian for this book.
• REFRESHING INFO
  Raising our grandson now 10 years old is a challenge anyway but as a gifted child is even more demanding. The book information helps us undestand the heightened behavior displayed because he is a boy - an athletic and smart boy that at age 10 has a good handle on the real world.
  Thanks for the book!

  I am an educator at a school that separates the genders beginning at the 4th grade level. I have always know instinctively that girls and boys learn differently, and I strongly believe after working at this school for over 3 years that it is the way education should be. Many years ago these kinds of schools were common, but for whatever reason we have gotten away from that structure. The book points out many important biological difference that explains a lot to me about why both genders act the way they do... more info
