Exactly. Discipline is different for different students. Boys need different discipline than girls. Time outs don't always work for boys. Additionally, it is a well-known and understood fact that boys mature at a later stage in life than girls. This is particularly true in an era when girls are given birth control at younger and younger ages. Girls are coming of age at a younger age than they have in the relatively recent past (there are many suspected villains causing this, including the lack of giving infants breast milk, which I find dubious).

But regardless, men mature more slowly, they require different discipline, and they need different praise and reinforcement.

As a father, you probably just saved yourself from having a 30 year old deadbeat living in your basement 20 years from now.
