He loves jumping on Sofa,
like a superman.
God knows why is she so
loud?
He doesn’t help in house
chores, he is always in playful mood; typically boy.
Sit properly, girls
doesn’t sit like that.
All among us must have
heard these sentences in our lifetime at least once either from family, friends
or from social gatherings.
The most common thing in
these sentences is that, we have set norms for girls and boys differently and
many parents raise their children with a particular mindset.
Parents are judgmental towards
the child according to their gender. Girls speak softly, and boys love to run
is kind of preset notion in society. Parents also take covers for their
children and correct them under these gender notions. Children who are raised
with these gender notions also tend to think in a similar manner and find
difficult to accept changes in future years.
Correct children as a
person first. Lets remake above sentences while considering child’s behavior in
priority.
He adores superman, so he
keep looking for a place to stay at a height.
Being loud at all times
shows you are rude, be kind and soft-spoken.
He is always in playful
mood, but you also need to help in house chores.
We need to sit with
proper posture and in a manner that is courteous.
Just a little rephrasing
of words can make a lot of difference in upbringing of child. Let our kids be
raised, as a great human being first without being gender biased. Be cautious in
what you speak as it may help build better mindset of kids.
