A must for Parents and Teachers - By: David Valente, 09 Feb 2008
I am only half way through this book but it is extremely enlightening.
I have 3 young children, 2 boys & a girl, I am also Governor of an Infant school. It has reallly opened my eyes to the facts of gender differences in learning & outlook on life, which if not considered can impact negatively towards both girls & boys, by both parents & teachers.
Whats more our schools have just introduced "gender equality" policies. This is a consern considering real gender differences that policies can end up ignoring.
It also challlenges some of the misdiagnosis of ADHD, which in some kids is the wrong teaching environment, not the child.
If you have young kids & want to understand how they behave differently, read this book.


Enlightening - By: Mr. Jameel Zayed, 14 Jun 2007
A very enlightening book - contents summary: 1) general differences 2) the brain 3)aggression 4) risk taking 5) school 6) sex 7) drugs 8) discipline 9) sexuality, tomboys, sissies 10) beyond pink & blue

The book will be good for anyone interested, particularly for doctors, psychologists, parents, welfare officers, teachers. Written by an authority on the subject. What got me to buy it was how there are some important differences in brain anatomy between males & females which determines their chosen method of describing/remembering information.
