Why Gender Matters

In 'Why Gender Matters,' Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the biologically programmed differences between boys and girls, discussing how these differences affect their perception, learning, emotional processing, and risk-taking behaviors.

The book addresses various issues such as discipline, education, and the impact of social media and video games on children.

Sax argues that failing to recognize these differences can lead to reinforcing damaging stereotypes and failing to support children in reaching their full potential.

The second edition includes new research on gender non-conforming, LGB, and transgender children, as well as the medicalization of misbehavior and the importance of adapting educational practices to accommodate these differences.
