Just for the numbers, the <a href="http://www.willnorth.org/preschool/" rel="nofollow">Williamsburg preschool</a> my son goes to, he has more girls in his class.

Our home is set up with room for movement. We have a yard for "mess," mud and, mainly, Yes. <br /><br />That said, there is a reading corner (at one of our parties, it was an 8-year-old boy who curled up with a good book), and, if kids who loved constant movement were here, there are Quiet Zones.<br /><br />Quiet spaces for those who need quiet to learn. This is non-gender specific and personality driven. Parents may be commenting from this perspective.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-39145967775000288992016-10-24T14:22:06.783-07:002016-10-24T14:22:06.783-07:00This is sad.

I was one of those girls who was good at sitting at a desk, but reveled in the jungle gym and the rings at school and trees and steep hillsides elsewhere. I think my parents knew what I needed, but it looks like some still don't.
