This is a fascinating article about differing gender expectations. Did you know in google searches parents googled: is my son gifted? vs most googles for daughters; is my daughter fat? And the truth apparently is that girls, at least in the early years have a better vocabulary and seem "smarter" than boys. Do we want our boys to be smart and our girls to be pretty? Food for thought. Read the article, it might make you look at your own gender stereotypes, it made me look at mine!
