Description
Why Gender Matters, Second Edition: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know About the Emerging Science of Sex Differences This revised and updated edition of Why Gender Matters explores the innate differences between boys and girls, and how best to parent and teach them successfully. Dr. Sax argues that failing to recognize these differences can lead to reinforcing damaging stereotypes, medicalizing normal behavior, and failing to support kids to reach their full potential. New research and findings have expanded Dr. Sax's work, including new insights into how boys and girls interact with social media and video games, and how they perceive the world differently. This edition also includes a new discussion of research on gender non-conforming, LGB, and transgender kids, and new material on the medicalization of bad behavior. With over 70% new material, this updated edition provides a comprehensive understanding of the science behind sex differences and how to apply this knowledge in practice.
