The gender biases that shape our brains
My daughter is obsessed with all things girly and pink. She gravitated to pink flowery dresses that are typically marketed for girls before she even turned two. When she was three and we saw a group of children playing football, I suggested she could join in when she was a bit older. "Football is not for girls," she replied, firmly. We carefully pointed out that girls, though in the minority, were playing too. She was unconvinced. However, she's also boisterous and loves to climb and jump, attributes often described as boyish.

Younger Years
I never thought in a million years that pulling a straightener down thru an 8-year-old Childs hair would give me the emotional reaction that I had that day. As I continued to straighten her hair, I found myself on the verge of crying and laughing simultaneously. If you are wondering the child is my daughter, Natalie. Shes blind to the emotional roller coaster ride I'm currently on right behind her, well as a mother I really hope she is.
