Response to the article

This article made me sad but it is to true. Boys are not allowed to play toys however girls are allowed to play with boys toys. I think there is nothing wrong if the boy plays with girl toys however his gender is a boy and society says he has to act that. About the costume that he wanted to be a princess i find nothing wrong with that because it is Halloween. People allays dress up however they want and there is nothing wrong. For example my 3 year old sister does not want to be a princess, instead she wants to be a pig for Halloween.Me and mom at first did not understand where did she get that from and i kept on asking her Gabby don't u want to be a princess? And all she said was no and I want to be a pig. So my mom went to the store and got her pig costume. But just by reading this article i understood that there is no reason to push all these things that are labeled as "gilrly" and for "boys". Especially at the young age kids should be allowed to play with what they want. Like my sister again she has race cars and plays with cars sometimes. I do not see anything wrong with that. However society has painted this huge picture the way girls should act and the way boys should act that in the end it might hurt some people.   

All of the sudden i found myself thinking Sociologiclly.....

All of the sudden i found myself thinking sociologically when i was babysitting my little sister Gabby. Gabby is only 3 years old and everything to her is so fascinating. Per day she asked about 1000 times why....? Why the sky is blue? Why is it night time? Why is my name Gabby? Why i have to go to school? Everything is why sometimes it really starts to annoy me but when i was babysitting on weekend i thought about this big question WHY? sociologically. Gabby is 3 years old and by asking questions like Why? so much she is learning so much. That weekend each time she asked me Why? i tried to explain everything as best i could that she would really understand. I realized that i was socializing her into this environment.

My mom has taken a huge role in Gabbys socialization. Since she was little she took her to the story times in the Library. Also she was taking kid rock classes at the park district, with thought her how to count, dance, colors, opposites, and also how to interact with other kids. This fall Gabby started to go to pre-school, with she really likes, and also she takes dancing class on Monday. My mom really wants her to interact with other kids and have fun at the same time.

One day when i came back from school i asked her how was her day and how was school? She told me that the firemen came to her school however she did not go into fireman truck and they did not bring the dogie with like in the cartoon Caillou.This was when i started to think sociologically again. TV was a huge influence on Gabbys socialization too. She remember seeing the cartoon and she was able to connect with her day at school.    

Each day Gabby learns something new. My mom, my step dad, and I myself play a huge role in Gabbys socialization. However TV, her pre-school and her dancing class have a part also. Gabby is socialized each day and that what makes us happy.
