Jack’s Brain, Jill’s Brain: Gender Differences and Why They Matter

Did you ever know deep down that your girls and your boys learned differently?

Are you frustrated with traditional limitations and constraints and yearn to teach each gender in the most effective way possible?

This workshop introduces participants to the rapidly emerging research on how the brains of females and males are developmentally, structurally and functionally different. Based on these differences, participants will learn academic approaches customized to the distinctly different learning styles of girls and boys.

Learning Objectives

To introduce participants to the rapidly emerging research on how the brains of females and males are developmentally, structurally and functionally different. Participants will identify how the male brain is significantly different than the female brain during the many stages of childhood and adolescent development.
To acquaint participants with the practical application of this research to behavioral and emotional interventions provided to females and males by caretakers and educators, with specific focus on helping both sexes avoid high risk activities such as drug use, alcohol abuse and sexual activity. Participants will learn and practice 6 techniques for helping children and adolescents avoid high risk behavior using methods customized for each sex.

To expose participants to the growing body of resources on brain-compatible counseling, guidance, mentoring and parenting techniques including books, newsletters, websites, conferences and workshops. Participants will be able to locate brain-based resources in their community and via the web.

“We read through your website from start to finish and were so impressed by your extensive credentials and training but, the real reason why we want to work with you is your clear enthusiasm for children and families and the wisdom and deep love you share for both!”

— Mom of 12-year-old child with special needs

“Dr. Amy knows how to relate to children and make them feel comfortable. My son was shy in the beginning but Amy asked him a couple of questions about what he likes and immediately found a connection with him. He happily followed her into the office (just after a 3 min of conversation) and performed the test. He wasn’t nervous or scared and it’s because of her ability to relate to kids.

We had a great experience and he wants to go back! Thank you very much!”

— Dad of 5-year-old assessment client

“Thank you very much for testing my child and getting us the report so quickly. We know how busy you are and appreciate the rapid response. We are grateful for your time. It has made a difference in my child’s schooling, and I can’t thank you enough! Yea, Wise Family!

PS. I have even used the triangle breathing technique I read about on your office door recently. You make a difference in all kinds of large and small ways.”

— Parent of 9 year old testing client
