[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 509069"] I am not qualified to answer because I have 3 male children (and 2 brothers & 7 nephews! 1 niece -a easy child- so she's statistically not relevant for my answer) While gender certainly could be a factor-I have 3 bio boys all about 2.5 years apart. My difficult child was a easy child until age 19. That said, they are all VERY different from each other. Especially temperamentally. So, it's never been a one size fits all approach to raising them. Different stumbling blocks, different discipline necessary. I will say that in my humble opinion-I think difficult child boys can be more physically destructive & prone to bolder acts of violence & self destruction. On the flip side, I think girls may be more cruel and more inwardly self destructive. I must confess -although I am sick with worry over my MIA difficult child-I think I would be even more worried if he were female. (from a victimization/pregnancy standpoint) [/QUOTE]
