This article offers a behavioral ecological approach to the study of child training practicies. Gender differences in child training are discussed in light of evolutionary theory, and the author suggests training is likely tailored to promote the reproductive success of each gender.

Gender differences in child training frequently vary with degree of polygyny and/or social stratification in a society.
