I have a seven year old and can't imagine this is anything he'd start a conversation about or is even aware of It went: kid: mummy can you tell the person who owns this car that there's a penny stuck in the vent mum: you know if you don't know if it's a boy or a girl you can say "them" kid: ok. If I don't know they are a boy or a girl I just call them by their name. Also, you'd be surprised. My girlfriend's kid was pretty gender neutral in everything until he went to nursery, and then started to be told by teachers and other kids that "these are the boys toys", "these are the girls toys", "thats a girls haircut", and then started to come home and change what toys they wanted to play with. Kids learn this stuff consciously because people tell them, I think. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard! |
