A parent's daily interaction with their child also has a strong influence in creating gender biases and expectations. In the article “Why Parents May Cause Gender Differences in Their Children,” 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 woman or a man in Western society. This is illustrated in one particular study conducted by psychologists and documented in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, where mothers were asked to estimate the steep slope their eleven-month-old baby could crawl down. Mothers of boys were able to achieve within one degree, while mothers of girls underestimated their daughters by nine degrees (Mondschein et al.). Some might believe that these miscalculations are an innocent mistake. However, gender bias causes parents to impose limits on their children and shape their experiences accordingly, which in turn stimulates the development of "sex differences in adult behavior" that are "the result not of an innate and innate nature, but of nurturing” (Sharon). For a while, according to Dr. Lise Eliot, associate professor of neuroscience at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, the general consensus was that women had higher hippocampal volume than men. This misconception led people to assume that women were "emotional" because of the difference in volume. A biological argument for why men and women were different was attractive to many until science proved that the hippocampus of men and women is the same (Regan
