Is your child typical?
Son - Obsessed with dump trucks, anything made by Tonka; Spiderman, Batman, Superman, etc.
Daughter - Pretty in pink, fairies, princesses, tea party, dress up
Other - Does their own thing? Can make a toy out of anything?
Daughter 100000%.girliest little thing ever. I've brainwashed the boys into being absorbed with Batman LOL so that might be my own fault. One is typical he's obsessed next to pirates, the other is actually liek a little adult...not really hooked with any kid stuff just loves to read. So 2 typical 1 little adult lol. And yeah the pirate loving son especially can of late play with no toys he has a crazy imagination lol.
1st daughter is not typical, fav color is green, loves video games, writing, reading, drawing and creating things.
my son is almost typical, loves cars, but doesn't want to go swift, can manipulate anything mechanical and when i took him to the bookstore to see if he would rather pick his own book he said "OH cool!" I thought he found a book he like, but when i turned around, in fact he was fascinated by the rotating book shelf and be behind it tryig to see how it worked. But he doesn't care much for superheroes, and in reality most action movies scare him, even the cartoons. He is 5. And he loves to fetch his sisters purse and put all his little tools or cars in there.
My second daughter is amazingly girly, loves her babies, dollies, pink everything, wears my shoes and routinely puts on make-up with her marker. I don't know who taught her that because i don't even wear make-up!! It's in the genes i guess. She loves to find her hair done also.
my son is just like that he loves tonka trucks, spiderman, batman, hot wheels, army guys
my daughter loves her tot dolls but she also loves to play with all her brothers toys
Yep, I have *mostly* stereotypical boys and a *mostly* stereotypical girl.
Both boys are adjectives about the boys stuff, and my daughter is about pink and frilly. As young children the boys played beside thier boy-toys and girl played with Barbies, and never showed interest in each other's toys. Excluding video games.
However, it's never a pure entry. As they got older (elementary school age, afterwards more notably at middle-school age) they started stepping out of their gender roles a bit.
Said pink frilly girl and liked toy cars and stuff but painted them pink beside nail polish, or found the rare pink Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. She "displayed" them, rather than playing next to them the way the boys did.
When she was 5 she wanted to play soccer, but the uniform better be pink! We be able to get around this by buying hair ribbons and other girly trappings to go with her non-pink uniforms. She be very upset when the other girls didn't want matching hair ribbons. And that they didn't want to hold tea parties after the game, LOL.
Now, in middle college, she is at the top of her class in math and science, but is still a total fashion diva.
Younger son, who loves all things mechanical and manly and played football until he blew out his knee, is also a choir standout and thespian and loves kittens. It is the strangest thing to hear a 15-year-old gigantic football lineman... beg for a kitten.
Older son have no "feminine side" that I can see. He has been totally stereotypical boy from birth, with no softening of the manly brim of his self. He started off as an engineering major (he started pre-engineering in middle institution!) but dropped out of college and right now he's in training to be a firefighter. The only possible place where on earth there is more testosterone is in the military.
And, Rosie, "godly" is an adverb, meaning things pertaining to god (of any religion), while "God," capitalized, is a proper noun referring to the Christian deity "Yaweh" or "Jehovah." When used lowercase, "god" it means any god, from any religion. So, referring to "Jesus and all things godly," the word "godly" refers to things associated next to Yaweh, and should not be capitalized.
I just wanted to come tell the well-mannered old Dr. Harley Kain Dawson that she should always use a capital "G" when referring to God. Any ably educated Christian person should know this.
My daughter fits in the "other" category. She isn't too girly, she would rather play outside surrounded by the rain and mud, than inside with dolls or Barbies. LOL, I guess she is a bit of a tomboy, she's quite rough and boyish haha. Oh in good health ;)
None of my kids have been "typical."
They all play near what they want to and who they want to, I guess. With 6 kids, most of whom are close in age, there's never really been boys stuff vs. girls stuff. We've never labelled anything a "boys activity" or a "girls activity", or regarded as the toys in that manner.
My 9y-o daughter prefers biking with her oldest brother; my second son would as soon see bikes as put his hand in a blender, and would rather back myself and his dad in the kitchen.
My boys have never been into trucks, construction, trains, anything resembling that. Maybe they're weird, maybe not, more likely I imagine is the fact that we've never forced it on them or encouraged one toy over another.
Alex and Emmy I guess are more typical girls, since they're the same age and are into adjectives the same stuff, they're totally inseparable, so I think they reinforce each others interests profoundly. They don't get interested in what their siblings are into much of the time because they tend to have their own little group at the exclusion of the other kids. Even though Alex can be a tomboy at times, she'll at least possible put up with and often partake in Emmy's dress up party or playing dolls.
They all really do their own thing and while my boys might be a bit more boyish and my girls more girlish, none are stereotype boys or girls, not laid out clearly like that, or what my neighbour would articulate in a simpering voice, "ALLLLL boy" or "little princess." The girliest of my girls, Emmy, is totally in love with her big brother's pet reptiles, LOL. It's not unusual that I'll see her wandering around in a fairy costume while talking to and playing near a pet snake or a lizard.
Go figure.
typical my daughter loves dresses baby dolls and doll houses and loves hose loves to swim or slip n slids
yep daughter is just like this
No my children are obsessed next to Jesus and everything godly
Answers: Cate is a mix of everything, she has trucks, she have princesses, and she also can make a work man out of a barbie and make it run into a building and knock down adjectives the legos..but she can also sit for hours and have a tea party by herself, she's not typical...i guess.
