A new wave of research is challenging long-held assumptions about the differences in raising boys and girls, igniting an important conversation for Thai parents and educators. Recent findings, covered by The Atlantic in “What Parents of Boys Need to Know,” highlight how social norms and expectations — more than biology — shape the trajectories of boys, with implications for their education, emotional health, and long-term success. These insights are especially relevant in Thailand, where evolving gender roles intersect with traditional values, and where national education performance gaps have sparked public debate.
