“My son is ‘all boy.’ Sometimes, I wish he were a little more tame.”

“I can’t believe the things my son gets into. But I know ‘boys will be boys.’”

“My boy is all afterburner and no rudder. His latest stunt just about drove me crazy.”

“If he makes it to his 18th birthday, believe me, it will be a miracle!”

Does any of this sound familiar? If you have a boy, congratulations! You probably won’t be bored the rest of your days.

Despite the claims made a generation ago by some leading feminists that boys and girls are essentially the same, scientific research the past 15 years conclusively says just the opposite: Boys are different.

1. Boys are different in how their brains are wired.

2. Boys don’t like the same toys that girls do or they play with the toys differently.

3. Boys are much more apt to engage in wild and crazy behaviors.

4. The differences continue throughout life.
