It has recently become widespread when children
take mere kindness and affection quite negatively. The
only incentive for such teenagers is punishment, and it is difficult
to make them believe that he or she is better and smarter
than they seem. The question arises what upbringing method
to choose for this or that person? To solve it we resort to the
theory of sex differences. Mans thinking process differs from
that of the woman. Mans logic is straightforward, focused on
something concrete, womans one is intuitive and involves
taking into account thousands of necessary and unnecessary
details. Women have more developed verbal abilities whereas
men possess analytical ones. The emergence of all these differences
is primarily due to different sex hormones; therefore,
if male psychology significantly differs from female one due
to a number of objective circumstances, then the educational
process contributing to the formation of moral values with
teenagers of both sexes should be built differently

professional competence of teachers, their training for
work in a new educational situation, in creating conditions for
