cage certain children efforts great ideas life product saying suspicion
There is a great suspicion of saying that anyone, especially a child, is 'the product of destiny,' or 'formed by fate,' or 'predestined for a certain life.' I am suspicious, too, of efforts to cage children or adults in preconceived ideas of who they are or should be.
anyone work
I don't think anyone disagrees that male and female brains work differently.
tired boys men
Our youth want less adult contact if that co ntacttreats them like boys. They want more adult contact that treats them like young men. Tired as they are of the former, they are hungry for the latter
men tools world
All over the world when you test men and women for facial cue recognition, women test... better. Its a negotiation tool.
girl teacher boys
Most teachers are not trained in how boys and girls learn differently.
children attachment two
Soul development depends on attachment and bonding. Every brain and body is genetically wired to develop itself, but the full soul development of brain and body depends on each child receiving the care of between two and five completely bonded caregivers.

Jed Diamond is, quite simply, one of the wisest men writing today on the topic of male emotional and physical health.
teacher jobs children
Teacher cannot solve or heal all student stress. The teacher can be vigilant in trying to guide the child toward solutions;but the teacher's job in relation to this stress is ultimately to help the child learn to manage his or her own stress wisely. In accomplishing this, the teacher mentors higher academic learning by removing distracting stress, and teaches valuable life-survival skills.
boys want vocational-education
If we want boys to succeed, we need to bring them back to education by making education relevant to them and bring in more service learning and vocational education.
men generations ifs
If we create a generation of men who aren't getting an education, that's bad for women.
nature kids differences
Neuroligacally, human beings haven't caught up with today's overstimulating environment. Getting kids out in nature can make a difference.
children boys needs
Boys get unfairly labeled as morally defective, hyperactive, undisciplined, or 'problem children,' when quite often the problem is not with the boys but with the families, extended families, or social environments, which do not understand their specific needs as human beings and as boys
character independent boys
The culture in which you parent, mentor, or educate boys exhorts them to be individualistic and group-oriented at once, but does not give them a tribal structure in which to accomplish both in balance. It used to be that the tribe formed a boy's character while the peer group existed primarily to test and befriend that character. Nowadays, boys' characters are often formed in the peer group. Mentors and intimate role models rarely exist to show the growing boy in any long-term and consistent way how both to serve a group and flourish as an independent self.
fun guy empowering
Making fun of guys to get them to perform and prove themselves, that's always going to exist. But we have to equally celebrate them and empower them.
