In this episode, I'm chatting with Dr. Christia Brown about the research on gender differences and stereotypes.

We dive in to:

• The actually gender differences present in children
• Why we need to make gender irrelevant
• Why it's difficult for boys to break free from gender stereotypes
• Examining the messages of gender specific programs
• Why we need to address stereotypes and bias early and head-on
• How teachers can facilitate cross-gender play
• The long term problem with segregating genders
• And so much more!
