Join us as we continue examining how nature, nurture and culture affects boys and girls, with social philosopher and author Michael Gurian.

On Part 2 of this series, Michael talks about how we can use what science says to raise resilient girls.

On this week's episode:

• The way mothers and fathers empathise differently, and why this can be beneficial in building resilience and boundaries
• Why fathering is essential for adolescent girls, and what happens in same sex families
• How girls can get locked in perception and destructive thought patterns and how parents can help unlock this
• Why nurturing our girls according to their nature builds resilience
