During the production of an amateur panto, some lifting needed to be done by the children in the cast. The person in charge specifically asked for boy volunteers, even though the kinds were all under 12, and, therefore, there were no differences in strength between the girls and the boys.

My own way to counteract this is to get my 4-year old daughter to push the trolley when we’re at the supermarket! She’s not as strong as I would be, obviously, but that it still saves time to have her do something she enjoys, rather than be bored…
