raising boys vs. raising girls

Tweet

I've heard many times how its different raising boys than it is raising girls. Not having kids of my own, my only experience with little kids of both genders has been through my cousins and tales. I enjoy spending time with both the boys and girls, and taking care of them when I'm called upon to do so. However, my cousin has toddler boy right now who is a bit more physical than I'm use to. He loves to throw things, break things, slap people (including his mother in the face) and hit people. I'm not use to a toddler being so physical and when I comment about it, my cousin tells me that's just how little boys are. I don't remember the other boys in our family acting this way when they were his age, but who am I say. What do you think the biggest difference between raising girls and boys while they're growing up?
