[quote=Anonymous]I have one son and one daughter, about 18 months apart. They're teens. I wouldn't say one is more emotional than the other, but they deal with their emotions differently. My son, when he was 5 years old, was having trouble with his friends in kindergarten. I kept trying to get him to tell me about it, but he got very annoyed. He said to me, point blank: "Why would I want to talk about it? That would make me even more sad." He was 5 years old when he said that, I can guarantee you it was not conditioned at that point. We don't talk like that at home. My daughter meanwhile, blabs on about anything that crosses her mind, no matter how painful it is. It could be a fluke (my daughter is a lot like me and my son is a lot like my husband -- in many ways) but the differences between them definitely pushed me out of the 'nurture camp and into the 'nature' camp.[/quote]
