Question

18．It is often assumed that girls and boys me genetically determined from birth to develop in different ways．Scientific studies have actually found that there are more similarities than differences when it comes to how  girls and boys develop mentally and how they learn new skills．However，on the whole，girls are more likely to be tailkative，self-motivated，able to understand other people's feelings，and likely to have better verbal （言語的）skills，which help them with reveling and writing，Boyst on the other hand，are more likely to be competitive and less able to understand others'feelings．However?they tend to develop superior spatial （空間的）skills which help with maths and science．
The gap in  achievement has led some teachers to believe that single-sex lessons in core subject are the way forward when it comes to motivating male students and improving hoys"grades．They argue that boys，for instance，feel less discouraged in subjects like literacy when there are no female students in the classroom to compete with．
Some schools believe that a mule presence-whether it is a male teacher or more involvement from dad at home-is a key factor in motivating boys and improving their grades．Others advocate a more"boy，friendly"environment at school whether it's stocking more books in the library that appeal to boys or trying out different teaching styles in lessons to engage boys in learning．
Your child's education doesn't just stop in the classroom．You played central role in their learning development before they went to school and you'll continue to be a primary role model throughout their school years．
If your children are primary-aged and struggling with reading or writing，ask their class teacher how you can best help your child．Perhaps their teacher could recommend some short，fm activities you could do together at home or a selection of suitable and appealing books you could read with your child．
If your child is at secondary school and Jailing with all the normal teenage anxieties on top of struggling with their studies*they may just tell you they don't want to talk about it．Explain that you also found some subjects difficult and you want to help if you can．Again，lots of encouragement can go a long way．
But if you feel you're not the best person  to talk to your teenage son or daughter about their school work．ask for help from someone else your child trusts-this might be a teacher they like，a close family friend or a  relative．
