" After  reviewing 46 previous studies, Canadian researchers concluded that baby boys are bigger wiggle worms  than baby girls — they squirm more on the changing table, get restless in the stroller and crawl over  longer distances, for example."    To continue, obviosuly there are a lot if different between the male and  This however doesn't mean we should parent them differently.  It's so easy to categorize our children into a female and male basis and keep them in these norms of a girl is  emotional  and is  more clean  than a male and a male is stronger and smar
