My summer book report.
I just finished reading 'Why Gender Matters' -what parents and teachers need to know about the emerging science of sex differences, by Leonard Sax, M.D., Ph.D.
Has anyone here read it? It was recommended to me by a friend. I finally checked it out of the library and read it. I kept reading excerpts aloud to TripletDad and now he says he feels he should read it too. I am going to buy a copy so I can re-read it and highlight and flag it for later reference. It gives a new perspective to look at how our children our taught and sites studies on how male and female brains develop differently and process info differently. We all kind of know this, but this book delves into how the past 20 years of 'gender neutral' teaching in the classroom has done a disservice to both sexes. Anyway, it's very easy to read and grounded in research with citations. Then gives some helpful ideas on what to do with the information when relating to your children. Fascinating. I'm telling every parent I know about this book. Claudine 1 comments from 1 users

Sounds like a good one. I'll have to pick it up when I'm done with school and can read for fun again. Did you know that women's brains are bigger and weigh more than men? Interesting. I think it's for all the multi-tasking we do.
