Equal Parenting

Equal parenting

Science widely demonstrates that it is nature AND nurture – biological AND social processes — that create differences among the sexes. In other words, our social, cultural world heavily interacts with our genes and hormones to magnify differences between boys and girls.

In fact, boys’ and girls’ brains are remarkably alike. But small differences at birth become amplified over time, as we — parents, teachers, peers, the culture — unwittingly reinforce gender stereotypes.
