4 Things You Should Know About Gender Stereotypes in Kids' Toys

Last week I had the privilege to attend the White House conference on gender stereotypes of children and media. This is a plan to encourage men to find popular jobs for women such as nursing and education while promoting women's promotion to President Obama 's on - going science and engineering etc dominating areas It is part of. After all, it all began in childhood.

There were many attractive lecturers at the conference - I soon used my laptop to fill in several pages of useful facts and ideas. (Then I wrote down the note somewhere in the White House, but President Obama discovered it later and I think he was shocked by the glow of the journalist he visited.

I can not summarize everything I learned from blog posts, but as I looked back on last week, I came up with some main messages I should know about my parents.

Adults often educate children about stereotypes of gender by mistake. I thought she was open-minded and talked to a woman who recommended her son to play a favorite toy. But one day, when I asked her why men are not married, she noticed what I had thought was "I do not want to promote a woman to him." So it is important to see what you said.

The walkway of the toy is extremely rigid, but it is not always the case. When I first talked about the meeting to my family, she rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go! More politically correct people complain about pink and blue toys!" Our idea is that girls Is playing with pink toys for decades, the result is very good. But that is not the case. This picture from Let Toys Be Toys shows how the 1970's toys were actually made mostly of neutral colors. Yes, they may still be sold for girls, but at least they can still welcome boys. Recently, it is difficult to persuade a boy to play with a magenta kitchen.

That boy needs help too. It is a girl that is focused on now, but I think this is a good thing. Since women's social salary is low and treatment is unfair, you should focus on helping young generation girls to understand their values. In other words, this does not mean that you should ignore the boy's struggle. Just as we need to know that girls are feminine and powerful, we need to tell them that they are masculine and can be raised.

You can make a wallet stereotype. If you want to change, the best way is to purchase a gender neutral toy for your child. The company will meet the demand. So, as Tina Chen, secretary general of the White House Women and Girls Committee, showed us that we would like to offer more paintings for boys and more bricks for girls please. In this way, our children can grow freely.

As a child, our toys are not gender neutral as before, but they are not as gender stereotypes as today's toys. In fact, regardless of whether there are children or not, everyone will be involved in purchasing toys. Whether there are friends and families with children is an important topic. After all, everyone has to buy a present for their children. You think that all the toys are pink or blue, and there are no toys between them that annoy you. - • Background Some people have personal, unusually dissatisfied complaints, as well as personal statements about the clothes the individual is wearing.
