1. To answer this question, I feel that I must state that I am not a parent, but I am an Aunt to my nephew. I’m very close to him and I’ve played a large part in his life thus far, and he is 7 1/2 years old. With that being said, I have evolved certain beliefs that I have had and they continue to change and grow over time. In regards to sexual education, and not just anatomy based sex ed, I feel is extremely important to our youth and young adults. Growing up, I remember getting the traditional “change of life” educational lecture when I was in 5th grade in 2001. As girls we learned about our periods and how to care for ourselves. For the boys, I believe they learned a bit more about the sexual side of things involving their anatomy. From what I’ve heard from friends…they were told about how as they are getting older and hormones are being released in larger doses in their bodies, they will have increased body hair, including on their genitals. They will start getting erections randomly and more so in the morning when waking up. They were told, in a very mild and generalized statement, that it’s a form of arousal and that it was their bodies response to it and that it’s a completely normal and healthy matter of life. The girls were told about, or hinted at might be a better choice of words, that women have babies and they grow in our uterus and that’s about it. An actual class that detailed sexual education that didn’t just speak on anatomy, but also the birds and the bees as well if you will, didn’t come until I was around 14 in the 8th grade. 

I feel that with what little we did learn about sexuality at that age, I was able to form a better opinion on how I felt about sex. Of course, with some education however, there will always be those who wish to experiment with said education and at least at that point, they are more aware of what they are doing, how this affects their bodies and furthermore, what is it they are experiencing. Sexual education for teens and even younger, personally I would say shortly after having the ‘changing bodies’ talk, would and has shown to be quite beneficial for the youth. In the documentary shown in class “Let’s Talk About Sex”, young persons in the Netherlands were educated on sexuality at a much younger age than what the United States is currently educating at. Statistically speaking, that country’s incidences of STI/STD transmissions and pregnancies are much lower than what we have here. Those youth are being properly and fully educated on sexuality, communication, relationships, and what our bodies can do, etc. By doing this, I feel will better the lives of those being educated. They might not get pregnant at such an early age, dismissing school because a child now takes precedence. They might be able to handle hardships easier within relations in their present and future just by understanding that communication plays a vital role in relationships, especially intimate ones. 

2. By definition, communication is the transfer of information from one place to another. In relationships, communication allows to you explain to someone else what you are experiencing and what your needs are. The act of communicating not only helps to meet your needs, but it also helps you to be connected in your relationship. Good communication is an important part of all relationships and is an essential part of any healthy partnership. According to our text, “Communication is the thread that connects sexuality and intimacy. The quality of the communication affects the quality of the relationship, and the quality of the relationship affects the quality of the sex. Good relationships tend to feature good sex; bad relationships often feature bad sex. Sexuality, in fact, frequently serves as a barometer for the quality of the relationship. The ability to communicate about sex is important in developing and maintaining both sexual and relationship satisfaction. People who are satisfied with their sexual communication also tend to be satisfied with their relationships as a whole. Effective communication skills do not necessarily appear when a person falls in love; they can, however, be learned with practice.”

Communicationis a transactional process by which we use symbols, such as words, gestures, and movements, to establish human contact, exchange information, and reinforce or change our own attitudes and behaviors and those of others. Communication takes place simultaneously within cultural, social, and psychological contexts. These contexts affect our ability to communicate clearly by prescribing rules (usually unwritten or unconscious) for communicating about various subjects, including sexuality.

Good communication is pretty simple in theory, but at times obviously hard to do. “The process of articulating our feelings about sex can be very difficult, for several reasons. First, we rarely have models for talking openly and honestly about sexuality. As children and adolescents, we probably never discussed sex with our parents, let alone heard them talking about sex. Second, talking about sexual matters defines us as being interested in sex, and interest in sex is often identified with being sexually obsessive, immoral, prurient, or “bad.” If the topic of sex is tabooed, we further risk being labeled “bad.” Third, we may believe that talking about sex will threaten our relationships. We don’t talk about tabooed sexual feelings, fantasies, or desires because we fear that our partners may be repelled or disgusted. We also are reluctant to discuss sexual difficulties or problems because doing so may bring attention to our own role in them.”

Being aware of the skills and using them are two separate pallets. In assistance, there are three keys to good communication: self-disclosure, trust, and feedback. “Self-disclosure creates the environment for mutual understanding.” In laymen’s terms, this means, 100% transparency. 

Through this process, “we not only reveal ourselves to others but also find out who we are. We discover feelings we have hidden, repressed, or ignored. We nurture forgotten aspects of ourselves by bringing them to the surface. Moreover, self-disclosure is reciprocal. If we self-disclose, we expect our partner to self-disclose as well. As we self-disclose, we build trust; as we withhold self-disclosure, we erode trust; a word frequently mentioned within conversation about relationships. Trust, by definition is a belief in the reliability and integrity of a person by definition. This notion is critical in any relationship for two reasons. First, self-disclosure requires trust because it makes us vulnerable. Second, the degree to which we trust a person influences how we interpret ambiguous or unexpected messages from the other party. The finial element in communication is feedback. Feedback is the ongoing process of restating, checking the accuracy of, questioning, and clarifying messages. Feedback begins with active listening and constructive feedback. Of all the ways “loop” partners respond, constructive feedback is the response that will receive the most positive feedback and encourage a zeal response.

1. Children as young as six years old already have assumed beliefs about how gender plays a role in society (Berk 2009).  They are already beginning to assume personality traits and societal status of their peers based on their gender (Gelman 2004).  When these stereotypes are reinforced at such an early age they can have long lasting effects on the child’s development later in life. Gender roles in society assume everything for academic aptitude to career proficiency, which have a direct affect how children begin to imagine their life trajectory (Rainey 1999).

Children from an early age in to adolescence are most strongly influenced by their parents.  In order to equalize the perceptions of gender roles in this country, we have to identify how parents can positively affect their children’ perceptions of the roles of their own gender, and the genders of their peers.  In general, parent’s views on gender roles tend to transfer to their children of the same gender more strongly (Halpern 2015).  Daughters of mothers who wouldn’t fit in a traditional gender role tend to have a more open opinion on the gender roles of all women.  There is a similar effect seen in the relationship between a father’s perception of gender roles and those of their sons (Halpern 2015).  

More directly than a parent’s views on gender roles, a parent’s behavior is a predictor for children’s perceptions of gender roles (Halpern 2015).  In order to meaningfully change how gender roles are perceived in future generations, adults now have to begin to demonstrate gender equality.  Change can be affected much faster if as a nation we can all begin to actively take on roles in the family or at work that are traditionally done by a different gender.  Parents now have to commit to show their children through action that gender doesn’t confine people to a particular way of life.

2. Development of Gender Roles

Personally, I believe that the parents have the largest influence on a child’s gender roles. Gender roles are pushed by parents as soon as the baby is born. Babies are assigned a gender based on the physical anatomy of their bodies, and as their cognitive development starts, they are manipulated to believe all of the stereotypes associated with their assigned gender. During this early stage of a child’s life their primary source of knowledge comes from their caregivers, and parents. According “Human Sexuality Diversity in Contemporary America “parents manipulate their children from infancy onward, they treat their daughters gently and tell her she is pretty, and they treat their sons roughly and tel him that he is strong” (Sayad, Yarber, 2013). Parents teach their children what is appropriate, and what is inappropriate for their genders.

If a dad see’s his son playing with a Barbie, he will likely distract him with a different toy, or advise him that this particular toy is for girls. The dad might react this way because he is afraid that if he lets his son play with the barbie then that is allowing him to act like a girl, and this will lead to him being a homosexual. While the likely-hood of this being the determining factor of a person’s sexuality, it is indeed taboo for boys to play with toys that are intended for girls. There is double standard when it comes to girls playing with toys that are intended for boys. According to The National Association for the Education of the Young Child, Children benefit cognitively from playing with toys. A boy can learn to care for a baby, and practice his ability to nurture by playing with dolls. Children develop gender identity between 18 months and 3 years, gender typing is established by 4-5 years and gender role development happens by 5 years. Since the parents are responsible for early gender role pushing and continue to carry out these gender stereotypes long before children are old enough to be influenced by teachers, media, or any other outside influence. They are indeed the main contributers to their child’s gender role.

Thanks,
