|
From their play, boys learn to participate successfully in competitive situations, develop societally valued organizational and networking skills, feel comfortable in public spaces, and gain independence. Girls do not learn these skills and lessons. Instead, they learn to care for others, build relationships, and share through their play.
Girls organize themselves into small cliques and their alliances to friends shift regularly. In girls' groups, the leader is chosen based on subjective criteria like clothes, looks, and popularity. In boys' groups, leadership is based on athletic or other well-defined skills and measurable successes. |
