Social psychologists are writing a report about their research into children’s toys. They write, ‘Parents still tend to buy pink for girls.

Good against evil is a common theme in adverts aimed at boys. Even at school, playground activities are different. As children get older, boys and girls tend to have more shared interests like music’.
