Some children will exhibit variations―similar to all areas of human health and behavior. However, all children need support, love, and care from family, school, and society, which makes growth into happy and healthy adults.

At birth, babies are assigned male or female based on physical characteristics.(sex or assigned gender)  Gender Identity refers to an internal sense people have of who they are that comes from an interaction of biological traits, developmental influences, and environmental conditions. (Trans Gender)

Self-recognition of gender identity develops over time, much the same way a child's physical body does. Most children's asserted gender identity aligns with their assigned gender (sex). However, for some children, the match between their assigned gender and gender identity is not so clear.]]> 2019-10-03 18:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393212896 Gender Typing 265063 https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393227671 Many people are judged for what they wear or how they look.

Gender stereotypes are messing with kids.

Think of preschoolers who are just beginning to identify as boys or girls. The characters they see on TV and in movies often have an obvious masculine or feminine appearance, such as a superhero's big muscles or a princess' long hair. These characteristics also are often associated with specific traits -- for example, being strong and brave or fearful and meek.]]> 2019-10-03 18:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393233152 Gender Typing 265063 https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393234397 https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/29/health/gender-stereotypes-media-children-partner/index.html
Age 2-6
At this age, kids:
  • Learn their gender identities (that they're a boy or a girl).
  • Learn stereotypes about activities, traits, toys, and skills associated with each gender.
  • Begin gender-typed play (girls "clean the kitchen," boys "mow the lawn").
  • Need to hear your input in specific, not abstract, terms.

The international human rights law framework prohibits gender stereotypes and stereotyping which undermine the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms. States have said to eliminate discrimination against women and men in all areas of their lives. This obligation requires States to take measures to address gender stereotypes both in public and private life as well as to refrain from stereotyping.]]> 2019-10-04 18:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393735868 Gender Typing 2640793 https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393739583 constant effort to manage a persons everyday life in with gender norms produces anxiety, insecurity, stress and low self-esteem for both boys and girls, and both for ‘popular’ young people and those who have low status in school.” The findings ended up forming the basis of a book, Doing Gender in the Playground, about negotiating gender roles in schools.]]> 2019-10-04 18:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393739583 Gender Typing 265063 https://padlet.com/261233/rd9lif45zb1x/wish/393739584 Not only preschool-age children tend to self-segregate by gender, but that segregation leads to the development of different sets of social skills, styles, expectations and preferences.
Over time it may become harder for children to interact compatibly with children of the opposite gender, say study authors Carol Lynn Martin, PhD, and Richard A. Fabes, PhD, of Arizona State University.

"Boys are more concerned with dominance and who's in charge, who's the boss." They like rough-and-tumble games and play outdoors. Super-hero play is a common game.
These stereotypical behaviors and tendencies were not universal, however.
"This finding, the effectiveness of peers on children's behavior, wasn't consistent across all children. The more children play with same-gender , the more we saw those effects on them," Martin says.

"Are there advantages to playing with mixed-sex groups and playing with the other sex?" asks Martin.

For girls, this would include a focus on attractiveness and appearance, perhaps leading to a message that this is the most important thing—to look pretty.
