I think this page could use a little expanasion. For example, it might be worth adding information about media this has appeared in, either as a joke or seriously. FrozenPurpleCube 04:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

What does "latency aged girl" mean? I doubt I'm the only one who has been stumped by this one. A10brown 16:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure of its meaning myself, but it does seem to have some usage so I wouldn't say it's made up. FrozenPurpleCube 17:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

They get it from the classic Freudian split of the age groups in child development. See the fifth definition of Latent for details. As pointed out there, the term is considered obsolete. I will replace it with the common word "prepubescent". CodeCarpenter 20:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

General Usage

I looked this up to see when it started, and thought it was weird. Growing up and in all the media I've seen I've always heard of it as Take Your Daughter to Work Day. I also never saw any info in school growing up about it, and defintely never heard of people taking non-family members. Perhaps it should also note larger companies individual encouragement. I went with my dad to Boeing for a day in 5th grade('97), they had PC'd it by refering to it as "Bring Your Kid to Work Day, and had already fully integrated boys. There was a fairly even mix of boys to girls, and some parents even brought in multiple kids, from 8-14. Anyone elese have a similar experience? Audiovore (talk) 09:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Redirect request

Can someone on wikipedia provide a redirect to here from "Take Your Child to Work"? I also recall originally hearing of "Take Your Daughter to Work", and my readings since then indicate that it now includes both sexes because of complaints that it discriminated against boys the way it had been called (and there apparently were some complaints from educators, who apparently had that "Take Your Daughter to Work" come up, leaving them with nothing for their male students). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 16:10, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
