Gender norms and stereotypes are a part of human development and socialization in America from an early age. Research shows that not all children identify with those stereotypes and not all families fit into those stereotypical roles. Early childhood educators have the responsibility of implementing a family centered approach to early childhood education and ensure that young children can explore who they are and want to be, in a safe, inclusive environment. This is an important issue, especially in these times when many people have developed changes in their understandings about human identities and gender flexible pedagogy. This article will explore the ways in which educators of young children can create less divisive and more equitable classes where all children have a sense of belonging and acceptance.
