Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
Today Elle and Abigail are talking to New York Times bestselling author, neuro-biologist and family counselor Michael Gurian. We're talking boys, girls and their differences, and raising boys and girls so each thrives.
All over the world boys in schools are failing and girls are succeeding, why?
Why Boys Need Special AttentionOn the podcast today, Micheal sheds some light.
Known as "the people's philosopher," he breaks down the fascinating differences in how boys and girls brains process information, and what boys need more of in class.
Micheal addresses the commonly distorted gender paradigms that we as a society have come to believe about what boys and girls need and shares practical strategies to set girls up to do better in STEM subjects and boys to excel in reading, writing and speaking.
We also take a look at how Micheal's work with The Gurian Institue dovetails into Hand in Hand Parenting through playlistening, roughhousing and Staylistening.
On today's episode: The four elements of difference between males and females How boys and girls process information differently and why schools need to teach according to these brain differences to help both sexes Why schools need to move away from verbal-centered teaching towards styles that activate the brain's visual and spatial-kinesthetic centers Mother's raising boys: What male emotional intelligence looks likeJoin us for a fascinating talk into raising our boys and girls to thrive.
