Document Summary

We should be able to give full expression to both sectors to do well to ou kids. Not being differentiated closer than the past generations but still this gender idetiafiable style that is diff. Dad is still wrestling and playing tickle. Mom is still the sensitive (not biologically, but the culture lag) When we look at fathers they could have that nurturing aspect, they are more touchy feely today, they do that when showing the kid how to bat a ball. But the mother is still more expressive trad speaking. Dual career what is impr is the quality of life and not the quality. We did tests to see if fathers can do the same justive to babies as moms. Was the father able to sooth a cranky baby to have him happy again yes. What we see is that this pattern persisted even when the father had lil previous experience (never raised bros /sis)
