Parenting note #246

An adult Triangle-person is holding up two gifts. There is two kids looking happy - a boy on one side, a girl to the other.

Bad parenting: the kids have unpacked the gifts. Both got a little doll. The girl is smiling and cuddling it, the boy is unhappy and holds the doll dangling by its head.

Good parenting: now the girl is happy and is holding a doll, and the boy is holding a model tank and is also happy.

Also good parenting: the girl is holding a tank and is disgusted, and the boy is holding a doll and is deeply disappointed.
