"You're a girl!"
“Well, you’re a girl, which means ...” So, a priori, you must make the bed, comb your hair neatly and wash the dishes after you. But if this girl, for example, has a brother. Is he automatically exempt from all duties just because he is a boy? This is how gender stereotypes and distortions in different directions are born. The rights and obligations of children should not be distributed according to gender.
"Why such a grade"?
“Why such a grade again”? For some reason, many parents experience perfectionism in relation to their daughters. They must be excellent students, smart students and the best in everything. Often the story is quite the opposite. The “tucked up” daughter is just waiting to grow up and get rid of the oppression of annoying parents. Thus, girls often end up in the wrong company, choose the wrong friends, and turn into a dangerous path. Remember, the child needs to be enough and motivated even when his results do not meet your expectations. For some reason, many parents experience perfectionism in relation to their daughters.
"It's not for girls!"
"It's not for girls." It can be about football or, for example, playing cars. So, when you take a daughter who dreams of doing karate to choreography, you not only deprive her of the right to choose, but also suppress her talents and personal interests from childhood. Who knows, maybe a girl who does not like to play with dolls, but now and then collects and disassembles transformer robots, will grow into a brilliant engineer. Why are you depriving her of this opportunity? Girls don't behave like that!
"Girls don't behave like that."
Often parents who raise their sons teach them how to stand up for themselves, fight back, or help the weak in need. It's different with girls. They are taught to be humble and polite. They shouldn't fight, while sneaking around is also bad. What is left for them? Cry in the toilet while no one sees? No, that will not do. According to psychologists , a child from childhood should be able to set boundaries and not allow anyone to humiliate their own dignity. The gender of the person in these matters does not matter.
