If you have high expectations, and teach them to reason, reasoning capabilities will develop just like any other skill. They will be in the habit of thinking. Get your kids in the habit of thinking, I say.Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803069677860028673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-68434896718112867172012-07-29T01:01:44.006+01:002012-07-29T01:01:44.006+01:00But yes society may be to blame.But yes society may be to blame.Seraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-25608987639512994992012-07-29T01:01:08.341+01:002012-07-29T01:01:08.341+01:00I don't know why some frontal lobes connect fa...I don't know why some frontal lobes connect faster than others. But I bet mine took an unusually long time. And it wasn't because I was terribly lazy or anything. <br /><br />I don't know if you can blame anyone for their brains just not joining up on schedule. All you can do is surmise that theirs haven't and be patient, charitable and careful.Seraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-59863588890259915912012-07-28T18:39:02.018+01:002012-07-28T18:39:02.018+01:00I don't know why, but this makes me uncomforta...I don't know why, but this makes me uncomfortable. It certainly seems to make sense considering a lot of the things I've seen, but on the other hand there are teenage boys and men in their twenties who can and do act like adults. It doesn't seem fair to lump all under-25 guys as hopelessly immature, and the ones who are mature often seem to be that way because of their circumstances, experience, and upbringing. I don't know the slightest thing about neuroscience or brains but I wonder if this is a cause and effect thing. Like, in different societies where men (and women, obviously) either needed or were expected to grow up faster, their brains developed sooner and wouldn't have shown the same results as more current research shows. To some extent, maybe men's brains are developing more slowly during those years because in too many cases so little is expected from them that their brains are just languishingly uselessly, possibly through no fault of their own but just owing to how society is.Charming Disarrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481799867576915560noreply@blogger.com
