Read pp. 175 and 176, “Developmental Diversity and Your Life” in your Development Across The Lifespan 9th Edition textbook and answer the following questions:1. What are some implications of differences in the ways adults speak to boys and girls?2. How might such speech differences contribute to later differences not only in speech, but also in attitudes?3. From your own observations, do you agree that adults speak differently to boys and girls? What have you experienced in your own childhood and, if you are a parent or caregiver to young children, what have you experienced in your own speech and/or that of your partner?4. Do a little research on gender and language, and give us a link to a website or article that you found helpful in considering questions of development, gender, and language. Why did you find it helpful, and what questions did it raise for you? (As aresearcher, you are always thinking, and always coming up with further questions to research!)The discussion should be at least 300 words. All posts must be grammatical and use proper spelling and punctuation—textspeak like “i” and “u” will automatically lose 5 points for your work for the week, so please make sure that you are writing in proper academic English, not textspeak.
