Boys

It's more of a individual child thing then a gender thing or you would always see angelic girls and monster boys 100% of the time.I Can go shopping with all six of my boys,they will walk on sidewalks and parking lots ect. very well behaved but that being said some learned quick and others took longer.I agree with Doula if she is in a safe place than she should be able to get some energy out by running around for a few.I think boys tend to be more active then girls but that is not always true,my neice climbs trees and woodpiles and has never sat still while my boys are looking at her like she is nuts lol.You just cannot assume that your son would be a handfull compared to your daughters. I dont think this boy sets your daughter off your daughter is being exactly who she is and it is not this kids fault,you can tell your daughter what you want her to do when she gets off the bus and then the choice she makes is on her and has nothing to do with any other child whether its a crazy little boy running around in the grass or a little girl sitting in the grass calling her over to see all her dolls.

Thanks very much. I am working on my daughters actions. You are right though. It is not the little boys fault. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

I also would like to apoligize if I said "wild boy" or boys are more avtive than girls. I guess I was just a bit overwhelmed when I saw her son running so fast through the mud and going on the ledges and so fast. I should have said athletic or fast (lol).

I guess I was also trying to help myself because I want a boy more than anything. And at this point, I do not know where things are going and my age, etc.

I was just rambling yesterday.

Also I am working on the "scream free" parenting so just so much at once.

Thank you every one for all of your ideas and help in your posts back to me.

Stay dry. It is pouring over here.

I think we all do this to self-protect from time to time when we don't have our DG; at least I know I for sure try to find reasons that maybe I wouldn't do well with a son after all. It's a tough place to be emotionally and luckily this board is a very understanding place.
