Cupid’s Advice:
If you want to raise your children to be gender-conscious, here are some ways to do it:
1. Start Early: It’s never too early to start talking to your children about gender or to try to find teachable moments, such as showing them it’s okay to play with whatever toys they want. Kids learn through creativity and they have huge imaginations that shouldn’t be limited.

2. Teach them empathy: Teaching your children empathy will help them be more in control of their emotions later. Asking them how they feel about something, such as gender, will allow them to become more in-tune with their feelings and the feelings of others around them.
