Why Gender Matters: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know about the Emerging Science of Sex Differences

by Leonard Sax

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Doctor and pyschologist Leonard Sax explores the science behind gender differences.

If you have a kid, or are even thinking about having kids, you need to buy this book right away. Read it. Study it. And keep it, so you can refer back to it as your child grows, because you WILL need it.

This is a fascinating book about the differences in gender and how different parenting and educational techniques need to be employed depending on what sex your child is. Dr. Sax is careful to point out that boys and girls are equally capable of learning (and excelling at) the same things, but that the way in which they best learn these things differ.

And if nothing else, it certainly explains why I always think my husband’s yelling at me when he insists he wasn’t (because females hear better than males).
