  • Barron's Educational Publishing
    A child psychologist helps readers sort out fact from fiction as she discusses these and other frequently asked questions . . .
    • Are boys really better at science than girls?
    • How can parents stop their boys from fighting with one another?
    • Why do many very young boys refuse to have anything to do with girls?
    • Do boys perform better at single-sex schools?
    Dr. MacMillan explains why boys and girls are really more alike than their differing behavior sometimes suggests. However, some real differences do exist, and she discusses the variations that exist between male and female brain structure, differences triggered by hormones, and how these dissimilarities affect both development and behavior patterns. The emphasis here is on practical advice—what parents can do to help children make the most of their potential talents and skills.
