The New York Times published an article on Friday called Boys Will Be Boys? Not In These Families.

The article starts with this sentence:

"A 3 ½-year-old named Harry was playing at home in Los Angeles recently when his father walked in with a Target shopping bag. Inside was a special gift for the little boy: a sparkly princess Barbie doll."

The article goes on to discuss the rewards and problems of allowing children to express themselves as they want.
