Description
- In 2013, Disney released its most egalitarian film to date - but 59% of all the lines in Frozen are spoken by male characters.
- 57% of children's books published annually have central male characters; just 31% have central female characters.
Raising
your child beyond the limitations placed on them by gender is, let's
face it, an uphill battle. If you don't know where to start, or how to
start, you will find inspiration, insight and plenty of practical
strategies in Childhood Unlimited. From navigating the
gendered constructs that dominate children's films, television and media
generally, to choosing appropriate and stimulating toys beyond the
binary divide, this accessible and relatable book will make the whole
process much less daunting.
Based on interviews with, and
research by, some of the best thought-leaders from the fields of
psychology, neuroscience and education, the insights in this book will
not only open the eyes of any parent or caregiver, they will inspire you
to help your child to look at the world in a critical, creative and
empowered way. Free from the restraints of the stereotypes that surround
gender, your child has the opportunity to reach their true potential -
and this is the book that you need to launch them on that journey.
