Question

How do parents encourage "gender appropriate" behavior?

Answer 1

Since olden days parents consider boys to be dashing and fierecy whereas girls to be soft. This thinking hence also developes when people become adults, men go out to earn their bread and butter whereas women stays at home looking after kids, doing all the household activties.

The girls are given toys like dolls to play or even there is something called as doll house, where doll has everything right fom kitchen utensils to her bed and extra dresses. Some girls may get develop the same habbit when they grow old, whereas the boys are given cars and such toys to play. Many boys are encouraged to play outdoor sports such as cricket, football. But girls are encouraged comparietively less in number. Hence boys develop a little more aggressive charachter than girls.

Even in teenage the girls aore usually not given permission for outings and parties, but it is never told to boys not to party, or to be at home because t is e outside.
