Can You Dress a Boy in Pink: The Unpleasant Truth for Parents
It is quite common these days to see a man walking down the street wearing a pink shirt.
Despite this, a large number of representatives of the stronger sex still avoid the appearance of things of this color in their wardrobe.
The same can be said for parents of boys who fear that their son's attachment to the color pink may lead to a desire to change his gender.
In fact, if we talk about small children, they are not yet able to understand the gender stereotypes accepted in society.
Little ones are driven by the desire to experiment, including with the color of their clothes.
The situation becomes even more complicated when a family has a negative attitude towards a certain part of the color spectrum, for example, lilac and purple.
For this reason, some mothers and fathers of sons refuse to buy them things (not just clothes, but, for example, stationery, toys, etc.) in “girly” colors.
If you are against your child wearing a pink hat, try to convey your position gently, without labeling.
