In Response to Yard Sale

I think thats interesting about your yard sale, but not surprised. Im not a parent so its hard for me to know for sure, but i predict that adults want their children to always be the best, whether it be accepted in society, or good looking. Therefore, it would make sense for parents to coach their children to play with the acceptable toys, act or react appropriately to situations, and many more things. It's for this reason that my original question is answered. As i was reading our assigned chapters, learning about how humans act or are raised. The book stated that some females have male communication skills such as being more assertive etc. and vice versa. I started to wonder if that had to do with being raised by a male or female, enter single parent. Would you think that if a single parent father is raising a little girl, would she be brought up to resemble his form of interaction, or would he feel even more compelled to push her in the direction girls are accepted in society?
