THE FINAL FOUR: WHAT ARE THE KEY ISSUES?

• Most of the claims about brain and hormonal differences between boys and girls are flawed, overstated, or based on rats. But they are mediagenic!

• There are four reliable differences between boys and girls: brain size, rate of brain development, size of the third nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus, and the degree of interest in mechanical toys.

• Enormous amounts of brain growth and development take place across childhood, not becoming complete until adolescence.

• If skills and abilities don’t get used, children permanently lose those abilities. Experiences determine which synapses stay and which ones disappear. Gender-blind parenting isn’t about breaking gender stereotypes per se. It is about enabling your children to maintain as many cognitive, social, and emotional abilities as possible.
