How Parents Influence Kids Gender Roles

In our home, I take on a lot of responsibilities that previous generations would have scoffed at, says Whit Honea, a cofounder of Dads 4 Change. In a new episode of Home School, The Atlantics animated series about parenting, Honea explains why, in a culture where outdated gender stereotypes are very much alive, parents shouldnt dictate gender roles to their children. By no means do I want to imply that it s wrong for kids to embrace things that they enjoy just because it falls on one gender or the otherjust that it shouldn t be mandated by us, Honea says.
