A new post!
This one is short though.
Emerson's teacher at daycare told me that she had been stealing toys away from the other toddlers in her room.
I know that's not ideal and we'll work with her and continue to set a good example. But right now I'm pretty sure she's not capable of understanding the concept of MINE and YOURS.
But I wonder - and maybe parents of boys can fill me in - would my daughter's teacher have even told me about it if Emerson were a boy? Is it just expected that boys are going to be mean and rough, and it comes across as especially egregious when a girl does something like steal a toy? Just curious.

You forget that boys are ENTITLED to the toys. Geez.
I can't speculate about whether she'd treat boys differently. But I definitely wonder about why that would be an issue for someone who's Emerson's age? Why even alert a parent? A child who takes a toy only needs a gentle correction. And it's an extremely normal behavior up until (I'd say) 3 years old.
Really strange!
