[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first child is a girl. Feeling all feminist, I bought her cars and trucks and no dolls. She never touched the cars and trucks and begged me for dolls as soon as she was able to talk. My second child is a boy. Before I had bought any toys specifically for him, he ignored all his sister's dolls and went straight for the cars and trucks that had been sitting unused for the last however years. There's something going on more than pushing cultural preferences onto kids, but I don't know what it is.[/quote] Mom of a 2 year old girl here - we've had a similar experience. I have bought some cars for my daughter. She's just not that into them. She loves crayons, markers, play doh, and seems to like toys an activities that involve detail/fine motor skills. She has shown pretty minimal interest in trucks, trains and cars.I was the same as a kid so it isn't that surprising. [/quote]
