Michael Gurian Quotes

I don’t think anyone disagrees that male and female brains work differently Picture Quote #1

There is a great suspicion of saying that anyone, especially a child, is ‘the product of destiny,’ or ‘formed by fate,’ or ‘predestined for a certain life.’ I am suspicious, too, of efforts to cage children or adults in preconceived ideas of who they are or should be Picture Quote #1

All over the world when you test men and women for facial cue recognition, women test... better. It’s a negotiation tool Picture Quote #1

Soul development depends on attachment and bonding. Every brain and body is genetically wired to develop itself, but the full soul development of brain and body depends on each child receiving the care of between two and five completely bonded caregivers Picture Quote #1

Our contemporary society is experimenting with the diminishment of caregivers for children. Some children are raised through crucial stages of life by only one person. This one person, who strives to give the best, may be overwhelmed, busy, trying to raise many children. And even in homes with two parents, many children are essentially alone Picture Quote #1

Without fathers you would have no civilization Picture Quote #1

A mother’s job... is very much to hold back the coming of manhood Picture Quote #1

Most teachers are not trained in how boys and girls learn differently Picture Quote #1

The human community and individual people are more likely to hurt or undernourish children they think of as ‘bodies’ to be used. Cultures and people are more likely to raise children to be mere economic interns rather than fully developed humans if they see children as ‘bodies’ to be forced into certain economic and social molds Picture Quote #1

There is no single way to educate Picture Quote #1

Classrooms keep getting set up more and more around the verbal and less around the kinesthetic and active. They are increasingly becoming environments that favour the girls’ brain Picture Quote #1

Boys get unfairly labeled as morally defective, hyperactive, undisciplined, or ‘problem children,’ when quite often the problem is not with the boys but with the families, extended families, or social environments, which do not understand their specific needs as human beings and as boys Picture Quote #1

Neuroligacally, human beings haven’t caught up with today’s overstimulating environment. Getting kids out in nature can make a difference Picture Quote #1

A lot of women will be sort of ‘competitive like a guy’ in the workplace, but then when they go home, they realize that’s not fully authentic for them. They would like to have a more expansive or more authentic relationship in the workplace around competition Picture Quote #1

If we want boys to succeed, we need to bring them back to education by making education relevant to them and bring in more service learning and vocational education Picture Quote #1

The quickest way to create a boy or man who lacks compassion is to judge and shame his feelings Picture Quote #1

All over the world when you test men and women for facial cue recognition, women test... better. Its a negotiation tool Picture Quote #1

Making fun of guys to get them to perform and prove themselves, that’s always going to exist. But we have to equally celebrate them and empower them Picture Quote #1

If we create a generation of men who aren’t getting an education, that’s bad for women Picture Quote #1

One of the great tragedies in human life is to be born a male and not be guided toward the value of a man Picture Quote #1

As our lives speed up more and more, so do our children’s. We forget and thus they forget that there is nothing more important than the present moment. We forget and thus they forget to relax, to find spiritual solitude, to let go of the past, to quiet ambition, to fully enjoy the eating of a strawberry, the scent of a rose, the touch of a hand on a cheek Picture Quote #1

The boy and the man must be raised to see the possibility of self worth, then meet a few others who provide the vision of a road toward it, then spend a lifetime pursing that worth through action and relationship. One of the great tragedies in human life is to be born a male and not be guided toward the value of a man Picture Quote #1
