Children should not be bound by limited thinking, it is the wish of almost every parent. Whether it is a boy or a girl, he or she must be willing to do anything and face any challenge in their life, this is considered as gender equality. For gender neutral parenting, you need to take small steps every day.
Don’t make the child color-specific or toy-specific based on gender. Unknowingly, the parents, relatives and relatives give gifts according to the sex of the child. These are little things that fill the child’s mind with the illusion of being a boy or a girl. The elders should pay attention to these habits and change them.
Doll for daughter and car for son: as a parent, no one can think of your child better than you. This is true, but never buy toys based on a gender label on them. Such as a kitchen set for the daughter and a bicycle for the son. Whether it is a son or a daughter, give them all kinds of toys so that he or she does not think of being a boy or a girl.
Avoid gender specific colors: there is pink for girls and blue for boys, don’t make your kid believe such a thing. Many parents do their nursery decor by being gender specific. The boys’ room has blue colors and superhero posters, while the girls’ room is decorated with pink and Barbie themes. Get started with gender neutral parenting with these steps.
Girls don’t cry boys: Many parents try to calm a crying child by saying that boys don’t cry or why you cry like girls. By saying this, you leave the child in the mind that boys are not allowed to cry. At the same time, girls begin to feel that girls are crying and that it can’t hurt.
Gender and sport are not related: if girls want to play field game like cricket, kabaddi or football, parents ask them to play girls games. On the other hand, if boys show an interest in playing indoor games or with girls, the family advises them to play field games. If you can get yourself out of this thinking, you will definitely be able to do gender neutral parenting.
The kitchen is not made for one gender: when the boys come to the kitchen, they are asked what is your job here? Boys grow up accepting the fact that they have no work in the kitchen. On the other hand, girls are not involved in the discussion about household expenses, so they start to think that it is not their job.
So give gender neutral parenting. Parents should look to these little things for the betterment of their children.
