Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents both theoretical and practical ideas for integrating gender and culture into parenting. Unlike other books on the subject, this one examines interventions and activities, and suggests discussion topics that provide children with the skills to become critical consumers and thinkers. Helpful tables make complex statistics easy to understand. You'll learn to help children discover and celebrate who they are, while infusing the message that they should notice and challenge exaggerated stereotypes of gender and ethnicity. In addition, you'll find revealing and insightful interviews with Jackson Katzcreator/director of the United States Marine Corps Gender Violence Prevention Program, and Mary Pipherbestselling author of Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls, who each discuss the cultural scripting that American boys and girls are subjected to.
