“…Meece and Painter (2008) demonstrated that girls make greater use of self-regulation strategies than do boys. Koda et al (2004) argued that there is a correlation between children who have learned to walk and an increase in appetite and being willing to eat alone.

This article discusses how 2-year olds cope with various everyday activities as observed by kindergarten staff from a gender perspective. Everyday activities are part of the daily pedagogical life in a kindergarten and are linked to situations such as meals, dressing and undressing, grooming and potty/toilet training. Data were collected through structured observation of 535 boys and 509 girls. The children, aged between 30 and 33 months, were observed over a 3-month period. The observation guideline material ''Alle Med'' (''Everyone Included'') was used to assess how children master everyday activities. The result reveals gender differences favouring the girls. In the present article, this result will be analysed against a backdrop of gender-related theory.
