heads I win, tails you lose

This is for my friends who have daughters.

The other day the Junebug's daycare class did some small group activity that involved the three-to-five-year-olds taking turns using a limited number of tools. At pickup, his teacher took the time to tell me that the Junebug was very insistent about making sure that everybody took turns and nobody cut in line.

If anyone ever tells you that your daughter is "bossy" because of behavior like this, please note that the teacher described my son as "helpful" and having "great social skills".

It may also be dependent on age? In preschool they seemed to describe such behavior as helpful.

And then I had the 6-year-old boys at church for a little while, and there was one of the boys who did this, and it came across as really bossy and whiny. The other boys seemed to think this too, from what I could see.
