Case study of gendered play in preschools: how early childhood educators’ perceptions of gender influence children’s play.
Play is a very important factor on a child's growth. The various types of play influence each part of a child’s body. This article is based off of how gender roles might be displayed or braced during a child’s upbringing and the society they live in. Gender is acknowledged as the social division of femininity and masculinity. The differences in gender roles prosper in children at the early stages of life. Educators and guardians also potentially influence the environment children play in, what children play with and how they engage in play. Research has explained how gender is an obscure and perceptive area of discussion on how it is molded in individuals and the impact it has on society. Early childhood education is the most important throughout a child's life. What they learn at this point will be carried on within them throughout their growth and development. Educators throughout these years play a significant role in supporting the acceptance of different people and cultures. Would you want your kid to be left out of activities based on their physical features? Think about it and be a positive influence on your life and the life of others.

I agree with your article. It's important to make sure that kids interact with different types of children including different genders. The sooner children know that its okay to play with different kids the easier it will be for them when they are older to make friends and be able to interact.
ReplyDeleteChildren from a small age should be taught to not discriminate others based on their gender or race. This all reflects on the parents and what morals they teach to their child.

ReplyDeleteChildren should learn to play respectively but anyway they want despite the fact that they are a boy or girl. If a girl wants to play with a truck with the boys, let her; don't stick a Barbie in front of her. I totally agree with this article.
