SummaryGender roles shape how a person interacts with other members of their society. Young children learn gender roles from many sources, and are strongly influenced by their parents and family, peers, media presentations and daily interaction with other individuals. Gender becomes a critical component of one’s identity even at a relatively early age. All societies have expectations for members of each gender to behave in one manner and adopt the fitting gender role, and these do not typically display a great amount of room to deviate. For those children who act differently than their expected gender role, there can be negative reactions. How do others respond to gender-atypical behaviors in children?
