Colleague Xiao Liu said that Bao Xiao, who just turned three, slowly began to have a sense of gender. As a girl, Bao Xiao suddenly realized that the way he and his brother went to the toilet was very different. Therefore, Bao Xiao asked him why he and his brother went to the bathroom in a completely different way.
As a mother, Xiao Liu originally wanted to choose the traditional way of education, ignoring children's gender education, and was vague in answering Bao Xiao's question.
However, Xiao Liu realized that the three-year-old baby officially understood the critical period of gender, so Xiao Liu clearly told the baby that because you are a girl brother or a boy, different sexes have completely different physical characteristics.
When taking a bath, Xiao Liu talked about her trying to get her daughter to go to the bathroom standing up. Her daughter found that being a girl really can't be like a boy.
In fact, every child needs the guidance of parents to understand the gender differences between men and women and distinguish himself from other children. However, in real life, most parents adopt traditional education methods, ignoring gender education for their children, which leads to gender cognitive obstacles for children and even affects social interaction.
The Importance of Gender Education to Children
Affect children's normal social skills.
Proper gender education plays a vital role in helping children master normal social skills, while parents' neglect of gender education will lead to gender and cognitive obstacles for children, and even affect their future socialization, love and even marriage.
Good gender education can help children grow up well.
Although the current society advocates equality between men and women, such equality between men and women is based on gender cognition, and such equality emphasizes the equality of personality, not the external equality of everyone. Therefore, good gender cognition can help children find their own role orientation and better pursue social equality.
Gender education can guide children to establish healthy personality characteristics.
Gender education is to let children choose their own healthy personality characteristics according to their own physiological characteristics. Nowadays, due to the influence of traditional ideas, a large number of parents educate their children in nature, ignoring the education of their children's gender.
Such problems lead to more and more girls showing masculine characteristics, while more and more boys become sensitive and delicate, even lacking masculinity.
Gender education of parents plays an important role in children's growth. Good gender education can help children to have a sense of gender, so as to give full play to their gender advantages and overcome their personality problems. Of course, gender education should be gradual, and it can't be done overnight.
