Equality and Appreciation Should Start early

My mom always made clear that household work will be shared with my younger brother and me, every weekend other children’s were playing outside me and my younger brother use to clean the whole two store villa, me was 10 n my brother was 9. Relatives used to tell my mom it’s not good to make kids work and so on, but my mom never cared and she always teach both of us share the work and complete it. Today when we both are grown up, he is my good friend we share a real good bond more than any siblings can. Now also wen we go our home we have same habit that we make sure our home is clean we help each other n he help his wife and household activities, which I think is a very good habit. I never seen him humiliating women instead he is really humble person.

It is really important to raise your girls to fight gender norms, strive for equality and most of all, follow their dreams. However, it is also important to extend the same courtesy when parenting little boys. You need to invest some time steering your sons in the correct direction if you want them to tune out the sexism prevalent in society.

While raising a feminist son is definitely not easy, there are certain things you can teach your boy to change his perception of the women gender. Remember that it is important to practice what you preach for life lessons that actually last a lifetime.

1. No compliments for doing household work

Do you take pride if your son contributes to the household chores and praise him incessantly for the same? Maybe it is time you stopped swooning when men chip in to help in the chores that are essentially considered a woman’s responsibility. From cooking, cleaning to even taking care of little siblings, remind your son that no role is gender-specific. They do not need praise or compliment for doing household work which is essentially considered feminine.If you are guilty of assigning tasks like cooking and cleaning to your daughter and mowing the lawn to your son, maybe it is time to switch things a bit. Send your son to grocery shopping and let your daughter wash the car. It is important to teach your sons that gender has nothing to do with household chores.
