Reddit reviews A Topical Approach to Lifespan Development (B&b Psychology)

Actually, it's true. It's not saying "women get fat" and "men get ripped", but rather men naturally start packing on muscle as school-age kids before and after they hit puberty while women start naturally holding onto fat a bit easier. This doesn't mean that every boy will become the Hulk and every woman a whale, but that they bodies are naturally growing to fit the needs of their sex. I have my materials from Developmental if you want to take a look at them. Here's the book I used and I can give you all the presentations and notes I've accumulated through my time in class.

You can also do some research if you want on your own. If you find anything else that contradicts what my information is telling me, I'll gladly look into it and see if it is based in the realm of science and from a reputable source. If it is, then I'll definitely remember it and take it with me as new information.
