I read Daniel
Goleman's "Emotional Intelligence" some years ago, and I recall the author
claiming that research with children has shown similar things about
differences between boys and girls at younger ages. I can't recall the exact
quote, but it has to do with girls generally being more aware of social
interactions at a younger age than boys. Both sexes figure it out, but girls
generally pick it up sooner, according to the research.

Some Googling turned
up this excerpt from the book, which explains a concrete example:
