Life lesson for son

I think the three year old should wear whatever outfit he wants, afterall it is hallowen, otherwise the purpose of halloween is defeated. He should experiment with things without being judge because he's at that stage. He's not consciously aware of his choice of being a princess and taking on astributes of a princess. This is just what Mr.Deardrorff was stating, that boys don't have cultural permission to wear what they want. Why is it girls can dress up as male figures without being made fun of. This relates to how society has place certain characteristics as being male or female. For instance woman are supposedly independent, gullible and moody, while guys are self-reliant, assertive, and ambitious. This is rediculous because we're in the 21st century where woman are equally as ambitious as men and some men are intimedated by our strengths . We're being pressured into taking on roles that society has branded us with. Why is that? Why can't we be ourselfs without being analyzed and criticed? It seems like no matter what a person do they're always going to be put in some type of category. It's enevitable and sadly, that's life.

All of a suden

All of a sudden i saw sociology when I chilling with my two nieces. My one year old niece at first seem shy and timid. she didn't want to talk to my four year old niece. The one year old began to cry whenever my other niece made an attempt to hold her. As our day went by my one year old niece opened up to my other niece. very soon they began playing together. I noticed that my one year old niece mimic everything the four year old do. My four year old niece was telling me how she could dougie, which is a dance that's familiar to everybody. I put the song on and my four year old was dougging and I noticed my one year old niece try doing the same thing. It was so cute. I immediately thought on how kids are quick to copy everything they see or hear. This is kind of scary in a way because I would have to watch everything I say and do around her and both of them. I want to be a good role model for my both of my niece.
