A samll boy climbs a tree.
One parent says “wow! I didn’t know you could climb so high” the other parent says “get down from that tree, you’ll hurt yourself!
Indentify which parent is most likely the mother. Better yet, identify which one is being emotional and which one is being practical.

In this typical situation the parent who said ““get down from that tree, you’ll hurt yourself!” was being the most emotional.
The father was also being emotional when he revealed his pride at the prowess of his son, but mostly he was encouraging his son to continue to be brave and try new, and somewhat dangerous, things.
