 Andrew was a 13-year-old boy who walked into my counseling office with a  lot of issues. He had been diagnosed with a learning disorder and ADD,  and his parents felt he might be depressed. Like many male clients, he  would quickly decide if I as his potential counselor knew how to work  with him as a male. If I did not, he would start trying to leave therapy  in a …

In my blog a few weeks ago and in The Minds of Girls I have tried to focus on science-based theory and practice that have proven to close gender gaps. I am arguing that to fully help our daughters, we must push beyond the idea that corporate sexism and “gender stereotypes” are the primary reasons tech and certain STEM fields don’t employ as many women as men. If we do …

  Girls and women are entering STEM fields in large numbers. As a father of two grown daughters, I feel both happiness and relief when I see this sea change. Especially in the S (Science) part of the STEM/STEAM acronym, females have caught up to and are, in some schools, surpassing male participation. For instance, there are now more women entering med school than men, and women are engaging in biology-centered …

  A girl is obsessed with social media,  a boy with video games.  An adolescent girl defines herself with  selfies and visual sexualization.  A boy sexualizes his brain with porn  use. When I delineate “girls” and “boys” in my lectures, some people  say, “But shouldn’t you say, ‘kids,’ or just ‘teens’?  Girls look at  porn, boys take selfies; girls like video games, boys like social  media.”  “There’s no doubt about …

  Today’s date is 12/7/17. What I write here will attach to today’s date yet, I believe, also be universal, not time-sensitive. The scandals are growing.  Our children –whether in school or at home—likely notice the furor. Especially if they are now adolescents or emerging adults, the issue of appropriate sexual conduct and boundaries is crucial to their survival. Today: *Warren Moon, the renowned quarterback and Seattle Seahawks announcer, has …

 As I was writing Saving Our Sons (February 2017) and just recently, as I am completing The Minds of Girls (January  2018), I’ve been receiving more and more emails about a topic I bring  up wherever I travel:  environmental neurotoxins.  These neurotoxins  affect children’s physical and mental health at cellular levels but we  can’t see them—they are hidden neuro-stressors and can be very  dangerous.
