In response to Teaching an Old Dog new Tricks.... posted by kristinem:


I completely agree. Since I have boy/girl twins, it is even more stunningly clear when I see people treat them differently based solely on their gender. There is definitely an expectation with some people that my daughter is more "fragile", and I have to work hard to make sure that these assumptions that people have don't limit my kids in any way. Thanks for your comments!
