3:40 Young men are lacking motivation. What is the risk of not thoroughly understanding what is happening physiologically in the brains of boys and girls? Are your boys disengaging from living? Are you contributing to the harm with the way that your sons are developing? We need to get a system that will benefit both sexes for them to thrive!
15:00 Are you misunderstanding your boys? What are you using that is just not working? Start working with it (how boys are) instead of against it! We cause so many unnecessary problems by fighting reality! Are you 'mistreating' your boys? We HAVE to understand what is going on!!
24:25 Why have boys and young men stopped caring? The Wheel of Life. What aspects of school/education are contributing to boys 'checking out?' Sending a 5-year-old boy to school is equivalent to sending a 3-year-old girl to school because brain development (in the areas taught in school) is less developed. Timing and way of brain development do not mean intelligence!
31:04 On a cellular level a man is more closely related to a male chimpanzee than he is to his own wife. When you are expecting the boys to do more than they are developmentally capable of doing they WILL check out!
36:48 Being a boy is as big a 'handicap' as being raised in a low-income household. The system is not working in favor of boys. There is a 15-point difference in scores just simply because they are boys! Boys are developing an early hate of learning which leads to an early hate of doing hard things. Finland's education system does NOT start any formal learning until age 7.
45:35 Kenntnis meaning experiential learning. Wissenschaft means knowledge, facts, or figures. Boys need to be motivated, computers do not! In other languages, they differentiate types of 'knowing'. There is a difference between knowing about Nepal and actually going there and experiencing it. The most powerful lessons are the hard, sad, and tragic ones, you need to let your kids experience those.
59:05 Stop expecting your boys to understand the same lessons right away. Carefully measure your expectations. Children NEED to experience the real world because without it their development will become impaired. They are living in a sterile environment because they don't 'need' to leave your house and interact.
1:06:40 Schools, and communities, have become unfriendly to boys! Competition is becoming limited in schools. Boys NEED competition! Without competition boys become unmotivated.
1:13:05 Does your boy have a place to BE a boy? Society is removing the freedom for boys to be boys. The views in schools about violence have changed drastically. Boys still need to have boundaries but they need to be beneficial to them.
1:20:15 Boys are turning to video games because they feel understood there. Boys feel like they can truly be themselves there. They are allowed to be violent and competitive in video games. We need to make real-life exciting for boys so that they won't turn to the virtual alternative. Allow your kids to do what they want to do but TEACH them how to do it safely! This is not only real for your sons this is real for your daughters!
