From the moment they're born, children are treated
differently based on their gender and bombarded with messages from media,
advertising and even family members telling them that boys have to be one way
and girls are supposed to be another. Children As They Are is a
parent-designed network of parents and educators working to ensure that every
child is able to safely explore all of their interests, talents, and feelings -
whether or not they're considered "right" for boys or girls.
Children As They Are connects parents, educators and caregivers to
information, experts and other professionals. We put tools and resources into
the hands of parents and educators that help ensure our homes, classrooms and
communities are safe for every child to express themselves authentically and
develop well-rounded interests. |
