(…) can better assess a difficult situation and think more logically. 4. (…) feel a greater desire to distinguish themselves. 5. (…) are more gifted in mathematics. 6. (...) are more sensitive to the environment, the situation in which they live, they endure pain and suffering more difficult. 7. (…) are able to express their thoughts better. 8. (...) has better visual memory, and (...) has better auditory memory. 9. (…) are better oriented in space. 10. (…) more aggressive. 11. (…) less active. 12.

(...) it is more important to declare yourself, to demonstrate your abilities. 20. (...) have a greater inclination towards creative work, while (...) cope better with monotonous work.
Psychologists' opinion:
1. In early childhood, girls are actually more obedient. 2. No facts have yet been established that give reason to assert that girls, by their nature, are more inclined to take care of the sick and weak, animals, and plants. Perhaps at the age of 6-9 years. 3. Girls can solve complex problems (problems) no worse than boys. 4. Until the age of 10-12, girls develop faster and therefore sometimes strive to stand out and distinguish themselves from their peers. But later, girls are more focused; they think more about the future than boys. 5. Girls and boys are equally gifted, it all depends on how we guide them. It is believed that boys are better at mathematics, but in reality there is not much difference between them. 6. Boys are more easily influenced by the environment and home environment and therefore experience separation from their parents more strongly. They are more sensitive to pain and suffering. Boys only pretend that they are not in pain because they are taught that a man should not cry. 7. Until the age of 10-13, the difference is insignificant, then in most cases, girls express their thoughts orally and in writing more clearly than boys. 8. Research has shown that throughout life this ability is the same in boys and girls. If there is a difference, it is only individual. 9. There is no difference before the onset of puberty, after which boys are better oriented in space. Over the years, the difference increases. Exceptions only prove the rule. 10. Boys become aggressive at a very early age, at two or three years old, when their personality begins to form. 11. The difference in the activity of boys and girls has not been established. Only in childhood do boys show themselves in more noisy and obvious ways (for example, in fights). At the same time, girls are not so noisy, but no less focused. 12. Girls prefer one or no more than two friends rather than a large company. Boys, on the other hand, tend to play collectively and gather in larger groups. This situation continues when they grow up. 13. Until a certain age, there is no difference between boys and girls. Boys also require affectionate treatment. 14. Boys are more likely to take the company’s opinion “on faith”; this must be kept in mind when raising them. Girls usually stick to their own opinions. 15. There is no difference in this quality between boys and girls until a certain age. Later, girls become more intelligent and active. During puberty, they are inferior to young men in this, perhaps deliberately. 16. Girls are not really as cowardly as many people think. In fact, they may be more determined than boys and overcome fear more easily. 17. Girls are better “armed” in relation to difficult everyday situations and are able to adapt faster. In most cases they are more independent. 18. In this regard, no one has an advantage. It all depends on the individual. Both boys and girls can compete and “measure their strength” with each other. 19. Boys more easily obey strong personalities and companies of their peers, while girls more often stand their ground. They are more self-confident. 20. There is no difference between boys and girls. Some have more creative abilities, some have less, gender does not matter here.
