[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when people are talking about this, they are talking about how physical boys are vs girls.

If you don’t believe me, go to a room full of twenty six year old boys and another one full of twenty six year old girls and see for yourself.  [/quote]

Yes, I read a pink/blue brain book a while ago and the only reliable difference was the boys on average have a higher physical activity level. Much of the rest is socialization. [/quote]

Isn’t the physical activity level socialization too?  I have a VERY high energy girl and I have always assumed that it’s at least in part because I ditched the stroller early and made her walk everywhere and took her to the playground a lot.  Expecting boys to be high energy means we wear them out more they build up more stamina and need more active life styles.[/quote]

I have two boys and a girl and my girl is way more energetic and hyper than the boys. She never stops moving, talking, bouncing, singing, cartwheeling, whatever. My boys are way more calm and risk averse. But in many ways they are typical boys liking weapons, guns, physical play. And my girl likes dolls, dresses, bows, doing her hair, princesses etc. But as far as some of the things associated with boy behavior, my girl displays more of it. That's just the way she is, not socialization or parenting. She rejected the stroller and would run away and get lost in crowds every chance she got. My boys were too afraid to drop my hand and I have to reassure them it's ok to go explore, which they will then gladly do. But, much more hesitancy. I've never fully related to the girl mom/boy mom stuff because my kids are mixes of both.[/quote]
