Mom and dad present as a united front. When meeting the children, you can’t help but notice that the boy aligns with dad and the girl with mom. With the gender gap in this family, it is evident that:
  1. The children need to be educated about gender equity
  2. Both parents will need individual therapy
  3. One of the two, men or women, will hold the key to the problem
  4. Gender will help to play a role in the family’s understanding of their issue
Explanation
Answer - D - When gender presents so readily in the room, it is not a statement about how uneducated the children are or about how much their parents need therapy. Instead, it only shows you that children often are able to mimic exactly what they see at home. If gender is already largely at play, it will be at play in the family’s own understanding.
