Gender Socialization

The idea
Gender socialization is learning a culture's gender roles and expectations; parents handle girls more softly and play with boys more energetically.
In practice
Adults playing and talking differently with the same infant dressed in different gender-typed clothes.
Where people slip
By two, toddlers identify the genders of family members; by three, they label their own.
