In the spirit of interviewing you before you pop too many questions my way, take a moment to reflect on the following and share your responses here or with a friend, maybe even a new one.
When you were young, 4 or 5 years old, who did you play with? If you did get to play with siblings, did children of the same sex play together? Did boys play differently than the girls? Was there more rough-housing and competition among the boys and more congenial games with the girls?
Could all of the children get along or were there times of difficulty?
