Do you often incidentally see parents who berated his little daughter were playing war? Do you often see parents saying, “A girl playing robot. This is a boy toy, isn’t it?” Is one of your daughters play the boy’s game? Or conversely, is your son playing women’s game? Parents generally prohibits direct or scolding her son when her son playing cooking. Taboo, they said. This concern makes sense because there are no parents who wanted their son to be tendentious to be a girl, or otherwise, their daughter becomes tendentious to be a boy.
Children do not fully understand the classification or categorization. It is adults who make a classification or categorization. So why should you ban your daughter who seems happy to play cars? Experts said, parents should not make their children become more `masculine ‘or` feminine’, by sorting the toys based on the notion that boys should play this and girls should play that.
Childhood is a time to explore and establish the concept of self and the environment. Prohibit and restrict the space for children can result in lost time, and made himself into a strong adult who is not opinionated. Invite children to discuss and dialogue about gender orientation is more sensible and non-judgmental, compared to the ban without proper explanation.
