How do gender norms impact our parenting? When you think of gender norms, what comes to mind?
In this episode of the Milk and Madness podcast, Nhi and Dee tackle the influence of gender norms within their childhoods and now how it impacts their parenting.
They discuss how societal expectations shape children's behaviours, and self-expression, sharing personal anecdotes from their diverse upbringings and current parenting journeys. They emphasize the need to foster self-worth, promote qualities like leadership and bravery, and support kids in their identities beyond traditional norms.
