Is it bad to dress our girls in pink and our boys in blue? Gender stereotypes can put pressure on our kids to conform to certain ideas of masculinity and femininity and influence the activities they engage in, their interests and ultimately even the roles they take in society as adults. Host Amelia Phillips talks to Assistant Professor of Sociology at University of Utah and author of ‘Raising Them' Dr Kyl Myers, to find out how we can raise our kids to reach their full potential beyond gender limitations.
