Females speak up to 10 times as many words in a day as males – how come? 70% of learning and behavioural disability designations are boys- what does this tell us? Are girls emotionally stronger than boys? What is the best way to deal with a boy who is upset? A girl who is upset?
Based on the work of Dr. Michael Gurian and his book Boys and Girls Learn Differently, the above questions and others will be answered:
- Learn how boys’ and girls’ minds are different
- Examine ways of meeting the needs of both boys and girls
- Introduce the main findings on brain development, age-related differences, and acculturation of boys and girls
