| | Sex-selective abortion and infanticide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If the biological parents want their infant child of an undesired sex out of their home but yet allow the infant to live, then they give away the child for adoption or export for foreign adoption. | | | Son preference is common in China: Chinese tradition says that most parents want their first child to be born a male. | | | Sex-selective infanticide appears to have been practiced at various times in Chinese history such as the Qing dynasty due to population pressures. |

| | GENDER: parenting strategies by Dr. Marilyn Heins |
| | Parents should model gender neutral behavior by sharing household tasks and assigning chores regardless of gender. | | | What is important is that as parents we NEVER LIMIT a child's horizons because of OUR preconceived notions about what a boy or girl should like or do. | | | More important, parents should avoid coddling and over-protecting girls and allow boys to express their feelings, including crying, without criticism. |

| | Parenting and its Distortions |
| | Too often parents respond to their children more as symbols of their own internal dramas, objects who will potentially shore up their failing senses of self or prove something to their own parents or bosses or friends, than as new human beings who offer new possibilities of relationship. | | | All of this is completely consistent with parents being emotionally blocked in a wide variety of ways that prevent them from being emotionally real and honest with their children. | | | ...Most parents are refugees from the pain of their work experiences and the pain of their childhoods. |

| | The right of a child and parent to have a continuing relationship should not depend on the sex--or marital status--of the parent. | | | Tears, tantrums and regressive behavior, such as bedwetting and clinging, are to be expected. | | | In mediated divorces the relitigation rate is lower, the level of satisfaction is higher, and the children are better adjusted.i15h The current trial-focused system for addressing child custody disputes is inherently antagonistic to the goals of providing stability for children, meaningful parent-child relationships, sufficient living arrangements and support, and responsible communication between adults. |
