Article
After reading this article i realized that children learn what is expected of them in society at a very young age. After i read about this little boy and read that he liked dressing up as a princess and liked the color pink i thought to myself he is just a little boy and it should be encouraged for children to like what they want and not try to change what they like. The little boy liked to dress up as a princess but did not like showing it to people in public because he was afraid of other children making fun of him and putting him down. His older encouraged him inside the house but did not encourage him outside of school because other children will start to look at him strange. i thought that it was very sad to read about this little boy who is different than other little boys and for him to be afraid to let people know who his true self was and what his real interests are because he was afraid of what others would say at the young age of 3.

It's amazing what kids as young as 3 can pick up about what gender role they are supposed to fill!
