I felt so happy when my first child turned out to be a girl. After that, I didn't really worry that much anymore, and I like my little boy just as much as my girls. I do agree with Angelle though, that not all boys and girls fit the stereotype described in the article... our second girl is a real tomboy in some respect, always doing before she's thinking, hard to discipline, never seems to listen. Funny how she's also into princess stuff though. Our boy is much more sensitive to raising your voice to say 'no' than our youngest girl.mementohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604736603964898908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23475742.post-27872930915862263782008-05-27T20:31:00.000-04:002008-05-27T20:31:00.000-04:00I just read that article yesterday in this month's...I just read that article yesterday in this month's Parenting magazine. Of course I can't speak from a mother's perspective but I was thinking about when I was teaching. I definitely saw differences in boys and girls for the most part. On the other hand, I saw MANY kids who did not seem to be wired boy or girl just because of their gender. Out of say 25 kids, you had your core group of typical overly mature catty girls and typical sports-crazed boys that made up about 18 of them. Maybe 3 more girls were artsy and hung out together, but separate from the other girls. Maybe another 2 girls who weren't sure where they fit in and tried to hang with various groups. The last 2 were loner boys who were not interested in sports and just did their own thing. That is a fairly stereotypical classroom.Angellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852706482954687440noreply@blogger.com
