Is raising a child free of gender roles a good idea?

Young children look for role models to imitate. They aren't looking for complexity or someone's sophisticated understanding of gender freedom. They want to know how to navigate their young world as a boy or a girl. If later, they express interest in the activities or manner of dress of another gender listen to them without judgement. Accept with love their curiosity and interest. If they are old enough to discuss potential drawbacks and advantages in a problem solving way, do it with skill. Books by Faber and Mazlish are great for learning and modeling these skills.

Hope this helps! 🙂
