It is generally accepted that early gender socialization is one of the most pertinent issues in early childhood, affecting both boys and girls.
For example: Boys can only play with toys like trucks, solider dolls and swords. Whereas, girls can only play with barbie dolls, little kitchen sets and baby dolls.
Right from the beginning, boys and girls are treated differently by the members of their own environment; (Mother and Father), and learn the differences between boys and girls, women and men.
Gender socialization begins as early as when a woman becomes pregnant and people start making judgments about the value of males over females.
These stereotypes are perpetuated by family members, teachers and others by having different expectations for males and females.
