Many of us have felt instinctively that boys and girls don't learn in the same way or at the same rate. Now, we have the scientific evidence to document and understand their many biologicalgender differences. For instance, girls talk sooner, develop better vocabularies, read better, and have better fine motor skill. Boys, on the other hand, have better auditory memory, are better at three-dimensional reasoning, are more prone to explore, and achieve greater abstract design ability after puberty. In this profoundly significant book, Michael Gurian synthesizes this current knowledge and presents a new way to educate our children based on brain science, neurological development, and chemical and hormonal disparaties.A controversial manifesto on how the fundamental differences between girls and boys influence the way they learn offers helpful guidelines for brain-based innovations.
