Gender awareness. By age 2 or 3, a child starts to develop a sense of being a male or female. This awareness is called gender identity. A child of this age starts to understand the difference between boys and girls, and can identify himself or herself as one or the other. Some people think gender identity is biologically determined and some say it's a product of a child's environment. Most likely, though, it's a combination of both.
And at this age kids begin to associate certain behaviors, called gender roles, with being male or female. Gender roles are a product of our culture. What is masculine? What is feminine? How do boys and men behave? How do girls and women behave? As you decide what you want to teach your kids about gender roles, be aware of the messages they get both in and out of the home |
