4. 10-12 years girls develop faster (and therefore sometimes tend to differ from their peers). But later girls are more focused, they more than boys, think about the future.

5. Girls and boys are equally gifted, it all depends on how we Orient them. Although it is believed that in mathematics, boys show better. But when we get rid of this prejudice, you will not notice much difference.

6. On the contrary, boys are more easily influenced by the environment and therefore stronger to survive separation from parents. Boys are more sensitive to pain, to suffering. They only superficially pretend they're not hurt because from the very beginning they are taught that men should not cry.

What is the result?

You could compare your observations with the data of the French psychologists. Maybe not with all their calculations it is possible to agree 100 percent. For example, the fact that the difference in the speech development of boys and girls minor to 10-13 years.

Domestic research shows that preschool and younger school age girls outperform their male counterparts in the development of verbal (speech) functions.

However, this test can provide us a service. We want to help your children to better demonstrate their natural inclination and opportunity? But this is often hampered by long-ingrained stereotypes.

For example: boys are more able in mathematics. What will need to have a talented girl to maintain interest in a favorite subject? Because from early childhood, she only hears from adults: "Girls in mathematics did not reach", "It's now in elementary school, they are straight — through diligence and perseverance, and the boys, still manifests itself in the natural Sciences in high school" etc. Wittingly or unwittingly inspired that math in General is not a pussy exercise. The result is natural — not many girls are interested in this subject and then elect a profession associated with it.

And it's not just math. When one of the girls is showing entrepreneurial tendencies and abilities, the reactions of others rather disapproving: someone is surprised that someone is shocked, etc.

And the idea that boys are more inclined and capable of creative work, while girls are destined to be performers boring and monotonous?

Or such characteristic of the installation: the ordinary boys are not too peculiar pity for the sick and the weak or the need to care about other people, about animals and nature. The boy with the pedagogical tendencies is generally regarded almost as a miracle.

Of course, a natural neuro-psychic organization of boys and girls differ. This is confirmed by neurophysiological studies. Information about this can be gleaned from popular literature. But the General ability of the child, the degree of creative talent, social success depends still much more from the individual, not gender differences.

Another thing is that there is always a girl or a boy can fully realize their natural ability because of an inflexible educational attitudes and social stereotypes.

This does not mean that exactly the same need to educate both.

For example, it is very important that at the time the child realized itself as the representative of your gender. Or: even the most liberal parents are unlikely to consciously Orient his daughter's fascination with the most dangerous of extreme sports.

And it's worth sometimes to think about how we help or hinder some of the stereotypes of parenting.published
