Is it true that girls are usually more attached to dads than moms and boys are more attached to moms?

I think it probably varies from one family to the next. Some of my boys seem to relate better to their Dad, some to me. The girls are probably more attached to me.In growing up, I don't think I was more attached to one parent than the other.

Similarly, with my extended family, it seems to vary, even within one family. Individual personalities and interests, both on the part of parent, and child, are probably factors that make the biggest impact, with time available for interaction being another important factor.

I've three grownup children: two boys, one girl. As I recall it, little girls tend to hero worship their dads until around 12 or so, after a rebellious period which lasts until about 15, they then tend to favour their mother. With my grandchildren - I have four, two boys and two girls - I notice the trend continues: little girls and dads get on really great, probably somewhat more so than boys.

Boys cop more criticism from their fathers. This seems to be a general trend.

Is not always the case,but better still,you can do a little survey by surveying four or more youths around you. I'm sure that will provide a better answer.

It depends on family dynamics. Both of my girls are more attached to me and I was never attached to my dad.

I think this is how we develop skills for later in life when we have relationships with the opposite sex. And honestly, as the mother of a daughter, there are just times when we can't talk about things because we're both female. I understand where she's coming from, but as much as I try to avoid it, my own personal experiences sometimes get in the way of allowing free, open communication.

I've heard my sons express the same feelings when they try to talk to their dad about certain topics. It's just easier to talk to the opposite gender parent.

My daughter is attached to me and my grandson is more attached to his grandfather. Personally, I am more attached to my mom.

I am not sure how true it is but yeah I have seen it and experienced it. So I am guessing it's true. :).

Well sometimes and sometimes not. It can change. It depends whether a child does more with their dad than there mum or vice versa.

But most families, all love each other the same. That is what it is like in my family. I am sure this answered your question because I know this sort of stuff, well being a child myself.

Yes I am 10 years old don't tell anyone.

Definably not! I know that I am more attached to my mom, and so are all of my friends that are girls.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
