It makes me insane when I see parenting resources and marketers deliberately perpetuating gender stereotypes that child development experts and neuroscience researchers have disproven and maintain are harmful. It is irresponsible and detrimental to kids. There is no right or wrong way to be a boy. From iVillage on boys: Even if you stock your nursery with mixed-gender toys like baby dolls and play kitchens, your little boy will find the one rogue wheeled toy and play with it nonstop. Little boys adore anything that flies, sails, drives, digs or mixes. It really is hard-wired. ivillage.au/raising-a-boy/ And from Disney Living, in full attack mode at NY Toy Fair this week: Disney Consumer Products unveiled its dynamic product lines that will dominate boys toy aisles this year. Were excited to see these four properties take off at retail as we know these innovative products will resonate with kids and fans who want to create their own heroic stories. Unless, of course, you are a girl. https://disneyconsumerproducts/Home/display.jsp?contentId=dcp_home_pressroom_pressreleases_dcp_home_pr_us_dcp_toy_fair_021714 How does it make you feel when you see this kind of stuff in action?
