Re: Return to Gender 101
Thanks for the link. I was interested that they discovered they used more words in general with girls, and thinking on it, I am pretty sure I have witnessed that but didn't really note it. I am going to look for it now!
But I do remember everyone warned me that boys talk later, boys talk less, boys talk less clearly, boys have generally smaller vocabularies etc. and that hasn't been the case with Kiddo. I am pretty sure it's because we have been talking to the kid most of his waking hours his entire life. I wonder if the consensus ideas about boys and language comes from people simply speaking less to boys typically?
