There are still many parents who know little about gender education, let alone gender education for their children. When faced with more and more "fierce women" and more and more "soft men", people often feel helpless.
Children's gender role consciousness is established after the age of 3, and the real formation of gender role consciousness is after children enter adolescence. At 6- 12 primary school age, children's attention shifts to the cultivation of learning social knowledge and interest, which belongs to the incubation period of children's gender awareness. Therefore, gender education for children from an early age is conducive to the formation of children's healthy personality and can lay a solid personality foundation for them to correctly handle gender relations after puberty.
How should parents educate their children about gender?
1. Provide children with a perfect gender environment and gender influence. Parents should never compete for gender roles in front of their children, let alone hope that they can completely replace each other to influence and educate their children's gender.
2. In life, parents should support each other, show their gender advantages, and fully demonstrate the complementary role of the two sexes.
3. Parents should not be too "rigid" when establishing correct gender identity education for their children. For example, boys should be masculine, girls should be quiet and fair, and parents can re-demand according to their children's personality in education.
4, according to the child's age characteristics, hobbies and actual situation, in the range he can understand the appropriate gender education.
No matter how many children ask, parents should not show discomfort, let alone blame, and try to explain patiently in a way that children can understand.
6. Pay attention to the role of father. On the issue of children's gender education, the feminization tendency of boys is worrying. In all families with boys, mothers should try their best to support and encourage husbands who are not masculine enough to be male role models for their children.
7. Respect the differences of children's innate temperament types, pay attention to the cultivation of children's excellent personality, and dilute the consciousness of gender perspective. The strict definition of gender role is harmful because it restricts the behavior of men and women, and masculinity and femininity are relative to each other to the same extent. People can be bisexual, that is to say, they have both male and female characteristics, which are both operational and expressive, arbitrary and hesitant, competitive and non-competitive.
It is also applicable to bring roles into school education.
Teachers must remember that men and women are different, but they are equal.
