I can say we're stereotyping our kids.. even we have been stereotyped by our elders at a very young age
Colours, particular range of things doesn't defines a gender. It's depend on a persons psychology what they like and what they don't either be it types of toys or colors or types of games children's play..we must normalise pink or blue colors for childrens and racing cars,monster trucks etc,and dolls and barbies among the kids.. it's totally fine for a boy or a girl to like pink or blue respectively or dolls n barbies or racing cars etc, among them.
and about emotions let's just teach our boys to feel free to express their emotions freely.by not saying "don't cry like a girl, you're a boy or boys don't cry" why boys don't cry don't have emotions or feelings.. they've gotta heart too.. we must normalise this things

colors never identify the gender differentiation in our society. we have to teach our children the equality of humanity and responsibilities and duties in our society. if we compare between boys and girls, that boy is stronger than girl Kiran Bedi (IPS) is a such live example in our society, as like kichen is made for girls chef Ranbir chef Kunal kapoor, Chef Sanjiv kapoor is the example against this myth. so we should teach our child to being a human first.

INDIA a place where stereotype starts from the very beginning of our lives. stereotyping kids is a very common thing which needs to be changed....it's high time we are doing this n now it needs to be stopped.....let the child decide what he or she needs for themselves....a boy can wear a pink t shirt and a girl can also like cars and bikes....we as a parent needs to stop stereotyping them and giving them a wrong perspective of life....let them enjoy their childhood

hi
every girl is not weak some are tough too, and the colour has no gender, some girls like other colours example blue, orange, red, green, yellow and some girls like other things example doctor set, engineer set, computer, etc.
