Is it biology? Is there a female and a male brain or are our differences down to our life experiences from an early age?
The truth is, despite trying to treat them the same I have found for many reasons my twins have had different lives from an early age.
1. The way other people treat them. Other people give them toys to play with based on gender even if I do not.
2. Their personalities make them so different that they way the rest of the family interact with them is unique for each twin.
3. Medical issues have impacted on one child's life.
Now that they are 6 my daughter is maturing that little bit more than my son and I guess I can expect to see quite a gap in maturity and behaviour as they approach the pre-teen years. Perhaps the difference in age for entering puberty (younger in girls and older in boys) also affects our brain but hard to know whether that affect is due to biology or life experience?
