How do you moms personally feel about genderizing toys?
I personally believe kids should be allowed to play with which ever toy they want. My parents allowed me to play with quote on quote "boy " toys. They bought me boy toys too because that was my preference. But yesterday my father in law flipped when I let my Son (9 months) play with a pink toy stating "it's not for boys it's for girls ". I told him we shouldn't genderize toys.
What are your opinions?
My husband grandma and even me have accidentally bought my son pink toys I don't care I don't think it matters he is happy that's all I care about
It doesn't matter now but if u purposely have them play with "another" toy to avoid genderizing then that might confuse them
People from older generations tend to stay true to the genderizing of things and there's nothing wrong with that if that's how they want to parent. But personally I will let my daughter play with and watch whatever she'll want (when it comes to "gender specific" shows). Us as mommys should let our kids flourish and not limit them I think. You're doing the right thing by letting him play with whatever he sees as intriguing.ittle ones most of the time aren't aware that pink is for girls and blue is for boys and so on, so for all we know he didn't even take note that it was a pink "girls toy". Do you mama💜
Kids don't know the difference and it's not bad if boy wants to play with a pink toy. My son asks me to purchase girl toys but I don't unless it's from the thrift store or he will watch shimmer and shine and that's ok.
I think it's great that you share this perspective. At the end of the day YOU are the mother. YOU will raise your child however you see fit. And teaching our children to not limit themselves just for society's sake of acceptance will only benefit your growing baby.
I let my daughter play with whatever she wants. If she wants to play with a toy car then I will with her and the cars. My daughter has military teddy bear that you would give a boy and she loves it. I could care less on if she ends up playing with dirt and sticks when she's older rather than dolls and barbies. Whatever makes her happy then that's all I care about.
Everything will be equal to my child. Toys are toys and colors are just that. I was able to play with whatever I wanted growing up.
Thank you all ! I was just wanting to know everyone else's perspective on this.
Personally, I will raise my son how I see accordingly:) toys are toys to me 😌
