A parent's daily interaction with their child also has a strong influence in creating gender biases and expectations. In the article "Why Parents Can Cause Gender Differences in Their Children," author Sharon Begley writes about how children are perceived differently depending on their gender and how this causes children to conform to stereotypes of what it means to be a female or a male in Western society. This is illustrated in one particular study conducted by psychologists and documented in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, in which mothers were asked to estimate how steep their eleven-month-old babies would be able to climb down. The mothers of boys did it well within one grade, while the mothers of girls underrated their daughters by nine grades (Mondschein et. al). Some may believe that these miscalculations are an innocent mistake. However, gender bias pushes parents to place limits on their children and shape what they experience accordingly, which in turn stimulates the development of “sex differences in adult behavior” that is “the result not of nature innate and innate but to cultivate” (Sharon). For a time, the general consensus was that women had larger hippocampal volumes than men, according to Dr. Lise Eliot, an associate professor of neuroscience at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. This misconception led people to assume that women were “emotional” due to the difference in volume. A biological argument for why men and women were different was tempting to many until science proved that men's and women's hippocampus are the same (Regan
