Name three of the four ways parents influence their children’s gender development and provide one example for each.
What will be an ideal response?
One way parents influence their children’s gender development is through channeling or shaping. For example, putting a daughter in ballet lessons and a son on the football team. Another way is through differential treatment. For example, in some countries, a parent may give more food to a son than to a daughter when resources are scarce. Direct instruction is another way parents influence their children’s gender development. For example, fathers may tell sons that boys don’t cry or mothers may teach daughters how to care for babies. Finally, parents also engage in modeling behaviors for their children. For example, the mother is always the one doing dishes and the laundry while the father is always the one doing the yard work, so the children believe certain tasks are for women and others are for men.
