What about those boys? Are boys and girls really that different?Should boys be playing with guns?Should you stop roughhousing?What can teachers and parents do to support boys need for active play?Teachers and parents are asking these questions more and more as they watch boys in their classrooms leap from chairs; run from one area to another; and push, shove and kick their way to the top of the slide.This book is unique because its emphasis is geared toward early childhood professionals and parents who want to create an environment that supports boy-friendly practices. Unlike any other books on gender differences this book reports on the needs and interests of young children. (Infancy-kindergarten). It demonstrates practices that are FIELD TESTED, that can be simple to make, easily adapted, and fun to implement in all early childhood settings.
