When you remove the label of gender from a toy, kids that is both boys and girls will have the ability and chance to explore Science technology engineering arts as well as mathematics. We live in the 21st century today and I feel the days should stop where we tell boys to play with truck and guns and girls to play with dolls. There are so many reasons why toys should be made gender neutral.
When toys are made gender neutral both boys are girls do not reinforced any kind of gender stereotypes for toys are toys until we actually classify them as boy toys and girl toys as parents. When we give a specific gender to a toy, a kid tends to internalize that girls play with dolls so basically in future this leads to children think that only moms should take care of the children and do kitchen work and not dads. They can play lead role in order to perpetrating gender focused stereotypes. Through toys sometime a kid knows what his interest lie in. So if we put gender tags on toys, a kid may not explore according to his interest but only through what society pigeon them to do so.
Toys for children are a part of learning process. They help nurture in the development of a kid in his or her early ages. Gender neutral toys help children to understand how things actually work and how wondrous some things can actually be. According to some recent statistics it was found that girls after a certain age are usually associated with the physical appearance and nurture skills, whereas, boys are rated more violent, competitive and sometimes dangerous. This is all because of gender based toys since birch. Toys are supposed to be for rebel of the Children’s physical and in an artistic way and yet they bring in such norms.
Boys tomorrow should not be forced upon to pick a car or a ranger since it’s traditionally made for them and a girl child should feel awkward to hate a princess doll. I do not think there is anything wrong with kids having a multiple interest in the toys which are actually not made for them according to the society. By doing this we are actually stopping the growth of a child. A man at the end should have some nurturing qualities too and a woman can be made able to design a car engine and yes both these interest should be surely fostered regardless of which gender they belong to.
