I have no idea where he picked that up. 🙄 He's 4, so he can just deal with it for a while, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2644134 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 01:40:21 +0000 Boogs 2644134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO picked it up from relatives. When I've told them all toys are toys and they are for everyone, I got some big eyes from them and their parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2644101 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 22:14:40 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2644101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully, never. She thinks everyone plays with the same toys. I have preschool/daycare to thank for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2644099 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 22:06:15 +0000 ALV91711 2644099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he was looking at a catalogue the other night and kept talking about the boy toys and girl toys. </p> <p>It is weird how they pick up on these things without being told. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2644081 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 21:43:52 +0000 littlecasita1122 2644081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, lately he's been making "those are boy/girl toys" comments. Like last week he said he can't have any girls from preschool over for a playdate since he doesn't have girl toys. Had to remind him girls play with trains, Paw Patrol, his kitchen stuff, trucks, puzzles, etc, etc... It's crazy how they get the ideas of gender stuff so young, especially since my husband and I try to stay pretty neutral with toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2644030 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 20:24:04 +0000 fancyfunction 2644030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She sometimes makes statements like "boys don't wear dresses" and will ask if boys can wear dresses, jewelry, etc. I tend to just say yes, sometimes they do. The subject of toys really hasn't come up though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2643863 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 16:07:01 +0000 autumnlove 2643863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times but we tell them boys and girls can play with the same toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2643862 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 16:06:53 +0000 lamariniere 2643862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids have had the same reaction when looking at catalogs. I think it must be influenced by kids at school/daycare because DH and I never talk about toys/colors/clothes being for specific genders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-tell-you-that-things-are-boy-or-girl-toysclothes#post-2643835 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 15:49:10 +0000 mediagirl 2643835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While going through the catalogs last night, my LO kept saying, "this is a boys toy, oh more boys toys." It's pretty obvious that the catalog is focused on girls toys, then boys toys, with a few gender neutrals mixed in. Does your child talk about boy vs girl toys or even clothes? </p>
