I am a college student majoring in Human Development and Familiy Studies, and I am finishing up my term paper for my parenting course.The purpose of the paper is to study how parents subtly influence their preschoolers’ (age 3-4) ideas about gender-appropriate behavior.

I have surveyed parents around my town, but I would like to get a few more parents to participate if possible! The three questions that I am trying to get a few more responses are:

1. How do you socialize gender attitudes and behaviors in your children?

2. Do you encourage your children to be androgynous or masculine/feminine?

3. If your children are behaving in a way that is inconsistent with your ideals on gender behavior, how do you try to fix it?

Thanks!

If you’re interested in the read it’s worth it. Here’s the link: http://www.ranker.com/list/the-10-th…analise.dubner

I’m curious how you all feel about these things. Do these memories, well I guess we can call them lost memories, still seem like big deals now or is it normal to feel like we’re forgotten these once huge things? What else seemed massive at the time but now seems like second nature?

Is there some hidden meaning that I’m missing? I can’t seem to wrap my head around that name.

We as parents always are looking for ways to save time and money while shopping, especially if it involves driving around local shops looking for stuff.
So some time ago we decided to create something useful for all of us. Finally we launched first US local product search tool that is capable of looking into inventories of local stores of all sizes (yes, not only big boxes, but small retailers and mom’n'pops stores as well!)
