My friend Lily has twins and children. She said that the differences between children were something she could never change. She never bought a toy gun for her son, but one day his son drew a wooden stick from the fence at home to make a sword. A few days later, he "borrowed" a toy gun from other children's homes. And her daughter, who spends a lot of time taking care of her toys every day, is not interested in her brother's going out to play. Lili feels that she has done nothing, but the child is still growing according to what is in her blood. ......
Experts believe that the brain development differences between boys and girls began to appear as early as the fetal period, and with the life and study after birth, they have made great progress in their respective directions. Although parents may have some differences in parenting styles, such as speaking more softly to female babies and fighting more frequently with male babies. However, many scientific studies show that the difference between male treasure and female treasure is largely determined by the physiological basis. Through high-tech scanning, it can be found that some parts of the brains of male and female treasures are more developed and busier than their peers. When the baby is still in the mother's womb, these parts of the brain have begun to undergo different changes under the influence of hormones.
As children grow up, this natural gender difference will have an impact on children's learning and will continue to strengthen. Conversely, learning itself is also changing the functional development of the brain. Because when children play and study, the corresponding brain cells will be more active and updated at any time, while those parts that are not used often will gradually degenerate and shrink.
10 There is a big difference between boys and girls.
1, language ability: girls' sentences will come earlier, longer and more complicated than boys'.
A study shows that women's brains process language more carefully. This can explain why girls usually speak earlier than boys and have stronger expressive ability. In preschool, they say sentences are earlier, and the content is longer and more complicated. After entering primary school, girls usually do better in reading and writing than boys.
2. Spatial thinking ability: Boys develop better, so their math scores will be better.
The part of the boy's brain responsible for spatial perception is better developed than that of the girl, so the boy is better than the girl in stereoscopic thinking. A comparative study of two-year-old children in France shows that 265,438+0% boys can build a bridge with building blocks, while only 8% girls can complete this task. Spatial thinking ability is one of the obvious differences between men and women, which is obvious from childhood to adulthood. In school, boys are usually better than girls in math, especially in geometry. Of course, ability and achievement are not the same. There are more boys than girls with good math scores, but there are also many poor ones.
3. Movement ability: Boys are dominant in big movements, while girls are dominant in fine movements.
A better sense of space makes boys more developed in sports than their daughters. On average, they start running and jumping three to four months earlier than girls. But in the development of fine movements, boys are slower than girls, which is also caused by the differences in the corresponding parts of the brain. Therefore, girls will be recognized as ingenious earlier. Drawing, zipping and writing are all their strengths.
4. Toy preference: Boys prefer mechanical and space toys, while girls are keen on people's problems.
Good spatial ability is also reflected in the fact that boys are more inclined to play sports toys, such as cars, balls and other toys that can travel through space. This is not only reflected in humans, but also in animal experiments, male monkeys show a strong preference for playing with cars. Girls, on the other hand, like dolls, although not as single and single as boys like cars. It can be said that when boys are fascinated by machinery, girls pay more attention to people.
5. Emotional characteristics: girls are more complicated and boys are more direct.
In girls' brains, the areas responsible for expressing and dealing with complex emotions (such as sadness and fantasy) are more developed, while in boys' brains, the areas responsible for simple and direct emotions (such as fear and anger) are larger. This is why boys are often indifferent to things that make girls feel depressed, and they are more likely to be provoked in fights. These differences in brain structure can also be used to explain why girls are more likely to understand and feel other people's emotions, and they can show more considerate characteristics when they are three or five years old. On the contrary, boys are more direct and antagonistic. They often give up oral expression and choose physical movements to solve problems. But in another sense, boys play more and forget more, and girls are more likely to hold grudges.
6. How to play: Boys have fun in running and fighting, while girls like the content of "mother-in-law".
From the age of 2, boys have shown more obvious physical activity than girls. They prefer to run and jump, play games that need to be grabbed, and never stand quietly somewhere to chat. Don't attribute all boys' fights to aggression. On the contrary, the relationship between boys who fight is quite good, and sometimes their fighting behavior is even a manifestation of friendship. Similarly, playing house games, girls like some contents of family life, while boys tend to show the big theme of life and death. Boys like powerful images, so they like Superman.
7. Safety: Boys take the initiative to hurt more, and girls are the safest because they are the most dangerous.
Because of strict protection and severe warning from childhood, the girl's life is relatively safe. Just when the girl hero is useless, the boy's energy is greatly exerted. They like the excitement of danger and difficulties very much, so they always try to slide down the slide head-down, skateboard on the stairs, and even cross ditches and other dangerous actions. In their eyes, they are simply crazy.
8. Anti-pressure ability: Boys are "sprinters" and girls are more persistent.
Animal experiments tell us that short-term stress has opposite effects on men and women: it will enhance men's memory and reduce women's memory. So boys will learn better under periodic pressure (such as the final exam). Women's brains are more tolerant of long-term stress, so when girls suffer from parents' divorce, their adaptability is stronger. In addition, boys and girls have different attitudes towards failure. If you do badly in an exam, girls will feel that they are incompetent, while boys will usually say that they are not ready.
9. Listening: Girls are better than boys.
Many basic studies show that girls' hearing is usually better than boys'. This subtle difference is difficult to detect in hearing screening in infancy, but it will be more obvious when you go to school. Experts believe that it may be that the hearing is slightly weak, which makes the boys appear more distracted in class.
10, visual ability: boys are more sensitive to moving objects, while girls focus on color and texture.
Studies on animals show that the cells in the retina are influenced by sex hormones very early, so the visual ability of boys and girls is different from the beginning of life. Other studies show that male retina is more sensitive to moving objects, while female retina focuses on color and texture. So girls like to paint flowers and butterflies in bright colors, while boys like to paint cars or spaceships in darker colors.
