Men and women - that is how different the sexes educate

How parents educate their child depends on many influences - including their own gender. The differences are usually quite clear and just as important. For only when male and female influences affect a child does it get a complete picture of the world and the diversity of human personalities.

Who can do it better? This question can not be answered in this way. Certainly there are educational situations in which men react "better" than women and vice versa - and even then the special personality of the parent plays probably the biggest role. Why the sexes are so different, is still not fully understood. They are partly genetic, partly justified by education. But how exactly are these differences defined? How do men educate, how do women educate?

So are men - so are women

Man and woman are different in many respects - we all know this from contact with the opposite sex. Countless books deal with the communication difficulties that arise simply because the brains are sexually ticking. Recent evidence indicates that hormones play a major role. The testosterone should already lead to the infant, that the left brain, which is responsible for logic and rational thinking, is more developed than the right. In contrast, the female brain develops symmetrically, feeling and understanding grow in a more balanced relationship. Education then does the rest to make these differences in thinking even stronger. After all, adults are shaped differently by brain development and education and react accordingly - even and especially when it comes to education.

Education - typical man

The father is usually the demanding aspect of education. He is the one who drives the children to accomplishments that they may not necessarily trust, that will raise them up when they have fallen and help them to try again. The drug of choice is usually not consolation or pity - that's Mama's - but rather the request, not to let go or give up. The fathers are touchstones, especially for sons - they go into the competition and into the competition. For the daughters, they are the first man in life and sparring partner for the first tentative flirting attempts in their teens. The father shapes the image of the man - for both daughters and sons. He is the measure by which sons develop into a certain kind of man and daughters are attracted to very specific men.

Men are certainly not necessarily more courageous than women, yet they are the part in which the child can experience how a person publicly defends and fights for his rights. Men tend not to care about what others think of them and also teach that to their child. The father is barking, playing football and doing everything else that embodies activity and strength.

Education - typical woman

Now to the women. Generally, they are considered the soft, loving-protective element in parenting and in the family at all. They comfort when it hurts and teach the child that compassion and consideration not only do others good, but also make one more satisfied. They look after the sick child and reestablish it after emotional failures, where perhaps there is only incomprehension or even reproach from the father.

Mothers are responsible for the fine arts: they make, paint and make pretty things with the child. When dad picks up the Christmas tree with his son from the forest and sets it up, she sits with the little daughter at the kitchen table and makes the beautiful Christmas decorations - a somewhat banal example, but that quite corresponds to reality. Mothers often brake children, against real or perceived dangers. They prefer to overprotect rather than take too big a risk. Concern for the physical and mental wellbeing of the offspring is paramount. On the one hand, children experience that they are important and esteemed, but on the other hand, with too much concern, this can easily turn into the opposite: the self-esteem of the child is eliminated and the conviction "I can not do that" becomes programmed childlike subconscious. How well, then, if there is a father who believes in his child, demands it, and trusts him.

And YOU?

You or your partner are quite, very different than described here? That can be good, because every human being is unique and carries his own thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns. A child needs a little bit of everything - and if you're a very defensive and reserved dad yourself, maybe you should get a little more assault - not just a good role model for your child, but an asset to your own life.
