Correct concept of gender roles
Gender education is not only to let children know the difference between men and women, but also to guide them to establish a correct concept of gender roles. This will affect children's social, love, marriage and even future family life. Under the correct gender education, children can better understand the characteristics of themselves and the opposite sex and lay a solid foundation for establishing healthy interpersonal relationships.
Promote personality development
Gender role awareness helps children discover and develop their own advantages and make up for their own shortcomings. Boys can learn from girls' carefulness and care for others, and girls can learn from boys' strength and courage. This kind of education helps children to form a more perfect personality and promote the all-round development of body and mind.
Avoid the misunderstanding of "neutralization"
Gender education should help children realize the uniqueness of men and women, and on this basis, integrate the advantages of both sides, rather than simply obliterating gender differences. In this way, children can truly understand and appreciate the differences between men and women, instead of blindly pursuing the so-called "neutral wind."
Challenges and Opportunities in the Internet Age
In the Internet age, there is a lot of information that interferes with the healthy growth of children. Therefore, it is particularly important to carry out gender education as soon as possible. Through gender education, children can form correct values and outlook on life, better identify and process network information and avoid being adversely affected.
Critical period of enlightenment: 3-6 years old
Research shows that children around the age of 3 have begun to have a basic understanding of men and women. And 3-6 years old is the key period of gender education. At this stage, parents and kindergartens should strengthen gender education for children, so that children can understand basic gender knowledge and learn to protect themselves. Don't let children get hurt in ignorance.
