Tidbits: Parents Reaction

Courtesy Michael Thompson: Several experiments have concluded that parent's reactions to their children are often gender-skewed. These experiments noted that parents comforted a crying girl sooner and longer than boys. Parents often overlook the strength of girls and the vulnerabilities of boys.
Abuse statistics confirm that boys are at a great risk of being abused than girls.

In my professional development, our RtI Consultant filled us in on new research that concluded that the faster a parent responded to their child with language such as "Oh, you swatted your toy!" or " I hear you are starting to get hungry." was directly linked to if a child was on time or late hitting developmental milestones in language.
