How much have you thought about brains lately?

In a typical male brain, neural connections go from the front to the back, while in a female brain the processing goes side to side. Boys also have more gray matter than girls, and scientists think this is why boys often excel at subjects like math, while girls enjoy language and arts. And since your son’s prefrontal cortex is bigger, he is more likely to deal with emotions analytically.

But even if you understand the science of it all, your son’s behavior may still baffle you. When it does, say a prayer, and know that God created every neuron in your son’s mind. He will give you the wisdom you need.
