Question

How is children’s play influenced by gender roles? Think back to your childhood. How “gendered” were the toys and activities available to you? Do you remember gender expectations being conveyed through the approval or disapproval of your playtime choices?

Answer 1

Answer:

Children's play is influenced by gender roles by the fact that there will usually be a girls and boys section at a toy store where the toys that girls are "supposed" to play with are and the toys that boys are "supposed" to play with are. As your a child your parents also usually get you toys like dolls and castles if your a girl and usually get boys things like cars and superheros. When your a very young child you don't know what toys you want so parents usually get you toys based on your gender. Some parents also dissaprove your playtime choices when lets say a girl decides to climb a tree they think that that's innaproiate for a girl but they are fine if a boy does it. Some parents also don't approve of boys doing music or art as a child because the parents think that they should do sports. Hope this helps! :)
