For mothers: Who is more advance in mental development, girls or boys?

That is true My girl who is 9 years old is more responsible in doing all her obligation than her brother my son who is 11 y o is careless in everyhting he done he just want to be understand, only want to fulfill his needs

Well, since all I had were boys , I would have to say boys are more advanced in mental development. I think their upbringing has a lot to do with it too. I know that their were several male nephews (as well as my son) were labelled as ADHD. It showed to me, that the boys were smarter than their classes and peers in school, so they became bored. When they became bored then they decided to act out.

Well, I only had two boys and the only thing that I can tell you is that they are both completely different. I did not have a girl to compare them ,but they seem very advance to me in every development stage.

I do not have any personal experience to have the comparison coz I only have boys. But I remember my sister in law telling me that her daughter is a fast learner than the twin brother. Although her son is doing great in school, still her daughter is able to learn ahead of her brother.

You do realize that children/people are too diverse to be categorize as one gender? I mean sometimes you get girls are more advance and then sometimes you get boys. I'm not a mother by the way. I'm too young to be one. But I can tell you that generalizing one gender may hurt the people associate with that gender. "Some people claimed that girls are far more advance" But those are "some people". There are girls stronger than boys as well. It would be unfair to say a scrawny male coach potato is stronger than a athletic girl who goes to gym everyday.

maybe it is girls,because they will put up with more difficulty!

In my understanding and what I have seen myself, I think that girls are more advance sooner then boys. They learn things quicker at first them boys even in potty training girls catch on sooner. They absorb more faster. I also think it has to do with how they are raised also.

I had 2 girls and one boy. As far as I'm concerned my son was far more advanced than my girls. He learned everything a cople of months before my daughters did.

Every child has a different development. In my opinion, the speed of development of the child, can not be seen from the boys, or girls. All depends on how parents educate.

I believe that is an statistical answer. There are boys and girls that are more intelligent than others, whatever their genre. But I think that they have different ways of approaching problems.

I stand firm in saying both being a girl or boy has it's own faults and strenths. that is why when paired with the opposite, good things can happen if they are mated properly. My parents always told me to pick right the first time to get married, and 22+ years later we are still a couple going strong with 6 kids.

it depends on what your focus is. if it is on maths skills and critical reasoning, boys always come out tops than girls. if you are thinking of emotional development, girls have always been known to come out tops in that area.
