The child has taken to making observations of gender differences among her classmates. It seems to be endlessly fascinating to her.

I actually want to look into gender differences re: kindness that she observes in her fellow 12 yr olds. Rings true to me.

She says that girls are kinder to their friends than boys but boys are kinder to their enemies! Sort of. Not quite. 1/2

Girls more likely to be sympathetic & talk & hug when a friend is upset. But girls can also go much further in being unkind.

Says boys will be annoying to girls generally & constantly (they're 12!) but they'll stop if a girl gets visibly upset.Arguing girls less so

Girls more likely to carry on picking on another girl even if she gets very upset than boys, in her observation. "Boys stop if they cry."

But boys who are upset are more likely to go to female friends for sympathy. I find this very interesting.
