Long overdue (2008-04-15)
The book is outstanding, and long overdue. While I fully support equality of the sexes, it’s very important to more fully understand the differences between boys and girls, and how those differences might impact learning and teaching. This book speaks to my personal experiences and I discuss it widely, and have given it as a gift to many people. It’s an important topic and one that every parent, educator, and concerned citizen should read. 5 stars all the way!Don’t write about things you don’t know (2008-04-07)
I wish people who know nothing about breastfeeding would stop trying to give breastfeeding advice. The suggestions on nursing in this book are child abuse, plain and simple. The author might be competent when it comes to the main topic of his book, but his understanding of infant nutrition is absurdly lacking.
I suspect that he got all his breastfeeding “knowledge” from Gary Ezzo. (www.ezzo.info)A must read for every parent. (2008-04-01)
This book is essential for parents to be able to understand their sons and daughters and their very different needs.Dr. Sax is Right On (2008-03-06)
Wow. What a page turner.
I’m sixty years old now and my only daughter is grown with two of her own children - a boy and a girl. I’m happy to say she turned out great but I still wish I’d had this book when I was raising her. I hope that she will read it and apply its teachings to the raising of her children. It’s a more complicated world out there now and parents need all the help they can get.
I’m almost in total agreement with Dr. Sax on how things have changed over the last 40 years. I’ve seen a lot of young men and women fresh out of high school in my 18 years as a community college instructor and even in that time span I’ve seen many changes. And I’m sorry to say the changes I have seen have been for the worse, probably due to the reasons Dr. Sax explains in this book.
Parents, take heed. Read this book and pay attention before it’s too late.
Simply stated (2008-01-01)
This book is a great resource for understanding a few basic differences between boys and girls. I had a copy, lent it to a friend, and just bought another one for my husband to read. Highly recommend it to anyone, parent or not! It’s been great just to understand the opposite sex in any situation!
