Parents

Most people believe that women talk more than men. Woman are more verbal in private situations, they use conversation as the glue to hold relationships together. But men talk more in public situations, when they use conversation to exchange information or gain status. You can observe these differences in children, too. The little girls usually play with their best friend with a lot of conversation. Again, little boys most of the times play in groups and their play usually include more doing than talking. The recent researches show us the roots of these differences. They found evidence that parents talk with their sons and their daughters in different ways. They use more language and talk more about emotions with their daughters than their sons.

I was surprised about these researches because it helps to shed light on the roots of these differences are the nurture not the nature. In fact, the parent’s behavior plays a very important role to shape the children’s characteristics. Also, kids grow up with playing. Different kinds of toys and plays have a direct effect on children’s behavior, so these effects are the nurture, too. As a result the nurture can change a kid’s characteristic totally.
