[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boys are physically abusive to each other, while the girls are emotionally abusive. My guess is you are more comfortable with boys being physically abusive and chalk it up to 'boys will be boys' or some other sexist troupe, and are less tolerant of they way girls cope with the same feelings. Girls are taught not to hit, and people look the other way when a boy does it. Most kids have a mean streak by middle school - even my perfect sweet angels have the ability to be mean.[/quote] My boys do not hit one another and as far as I know, they do not hit or get hit by their friends. They do play physically and have gotten hurt. My kid has fallen down a tree, got a scratch during basketball, head butted during spike ball, fallen off bikes, etc. They have gotten upset over fouls during playing sports but this is not their actual friends.[/quote]
