PERENTING, GENDER AND STEREOTYPES

I read article about “Gender Roles and Stereotypes” by Dana Williams. I agree about tips on how to do that in our home. Firstly, expand activities for girls and boys. Encourage children to play with both genders. Be sure to provide girls with opportunities to climb and explore and boys with activities to play make believe games and enjoy art projects. We must read books and tell stories for them that highlight characters demonstrating gender equality. Always point out real people who demonstrate nontraditional gender roles for examples women as doctor, scientists, and construction worker and men as stay at home dads, nurses or schoolteachers. If a boy at school makes our daughter mad, don not allow her to say “Boys are stupid!” Since a person’s behavior is never representative of a group, encourage her to express her feeling about the individual rather than the entire gender. We as are parents must be a good role model by sitting equal example with housework and parenting chores. We also must show for them the equal enthusiasm for women’s and men’s sports. With are they canned get more recognize with both gender between women and men. With it also can less skirmish between both.
