How to educate children about gender issues abroad?
Parents in foreign countries still attach great importance to this issue, but in contrast, parents in China still lack understanding of gender education, mainly in the following aspects:

1. It's hard to get rid of the tradition of son preference.

In some areas, the problem of son preference is still serious. Some families pay too much attention to boys and not enough attention to girls, which easily leads to girls' excessive inferiority complex and boys' excessive ego.

2. Do not pay attention to the development of children's gender awareness

I often see news such as "grandma and mom took a 6-year-old boy to the women's bathroom to take a bath, which caused public anger". As the protagonist's grandmother and mother, they may also accept criticism from others that "children are too young to understand anything", but they don't know that doing so is disrespecting other female customers' right to physical privacy and will also cause confusion in children's gender consciousness.

3. The dislocation of gender parenting model

Some parents like to raise girls as boys and call their daughters "sons"; Or dress boys in skirts and dress up as girls. Parents may do this for fun, but it will affect their children's normal awakening of gender consciousness.
