It's not just boy vs girl. It's the individual personality. My brother's two sons were total opposites. The first was an angel-- they never even had to baby proof. The second was always trying to climb on the counter, and they had to seriously baby proof their house.
Brooks may be "harder" than Gaines, but blaming it on him being a boy is just ridiculous.

It's the way she blames it on being a boy with disapproval and personal rejection. If it were truly a "boy" thing in her experience and in the innocent sense of the word, then she wouldn't have had an "issue" with him but have accepted and have been understanding of him, as precisely that: of just being a boy! In fact, if she would have accepted both of her kids the same way it would have been politically more correct to attribute it to being a boy at first instance rather than to personality. Saying to your friend: oh he's a boy lol, implies acceptance and also understanding, with affinity. And then one could add: and he has a different temperament. But this would all be in a manner of acceptance.
It's the first time I'm really starting to get a little angry with the situation now that she is making an illness out of a healthy situation. This is really not done in clinical psychology, and shame on you Katie! This is really not okay to treat Brooks as if he were to have an illness, it's also the first time it's actual, concrete behavior instead of only words and gestures.
Poor kid laying in his (RIDICULOUS) swing, and he wanted to go higher lol, which proofs he doesn't need it to begin with, and he is just a small kid who wanted to play on the swing lol. He thought: yay now we have a swing at home, higher mom, higher!
SHAME ON YOU KATIE, with your laughable swing. Katie doesn't deserve being a psychologist. She has zero insight into herself, has zero capability in correcting on herself and is dishonest. And a severe case of acting out her personal issues, with both Gaines and Brooks. Her sickening adoration of Gaines and now her active disapproval and rejection of Brooks. You only have to look at her face when she talks about it.
Just give him activities, put him on gymnastics, play soccer with him, yes you Katie go move yourself, play soccer and run with him in the garden. Kids per definition are active and need stimuli for goodness sake.
