### Introduction

Hello my wonderful steemian,good day, hope you all day went well, I came across this contest and I decided to participate in it, but am married and I have a boy child already, I will just give my ideas about this contest, I wish all the participants success….

### Boy or girl child, which do you think is more expensive to train? Give your reasons

The cost of raising a child depends on some factors which include family income, lifestyle, location, and our child's different needs, it doesn’t requiretheir gender. All this factors can influence the cost of the childcare, education, healthcare, and even other expenses needed with raising a child. It is good to consider each child the same and make good decisions depending on their needs, rather than making another decision based on gender.

### If you were to be a parent today, which gender do you prefer to have as your children? Give us your reasons

With this question if I wasn’t married I will still prefer a boy child, I say this because, in some situations a boy child will be needed to defend us or our property when we are no more, it takes the grace of God for a girl child to protect the parents property, i will say it also takes the grace of God for a male child to protect the property too, but in summary, I will prefer a male child as my first blood….

### During adolescence, which gender shows tendencies to go out of control? Why?

This is cause by the significant changes that happened in their brains, most importantly the development of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for making decision and impulse control. Meanwhile, adolescence is a time of exploration and also experimentation, this leading to risk-taking behaviors by the child. Some factors include peer pressure, the desire for independence and more, It is very important for parents to provide guidance and more importantly support to help the adolescents navigate these challenges and develop good decisions.

### What do you think about the statement; "what a boy can do, a girl can do better"?

This stereotype is limiting and does not view the good strengths and abilities of the individuals, not restanding of their gender. It is good to challenge gender stereotypes and at the same time encourage people to pursue their passions and their interests, not restanding of their societal expectations. With this we can build strong and more inclusive and equitable society where the individuals are allowed to reach their full potential or needs…
