Oh Boy! looks at the male brain: how it develops, how it differs, and the role it plays in how a boy thinks, learns and engages with the world. Author Dr Michael C. Nagel moves past the "boys will be boys" dictum and gives a guided tour of a boy's brain.
The book explains how differences in structure and neurochemistry affect boys' behavior, learning, emotions and bodies. It covers aggression, learning difficulties, behavior, emotional problems, toxic masculinity and the challenges of technology.
Drawing on the latest research, Nagel applies neuroscience to common problems boys face. He offers solutions and ideas for parents and teachers, and argues that understanding why boys do what they do helps adults work with them to improve their wellbeing and educational outcomes.
