Awareness of Gender Socialization:     Gender stereotypes
"A ball, a bat, a bike for Bobby;
A Barbie, a bracelet, an Easy Bake Oven for Bonnie: 
Who will be more physically active?"
 (ZOOM One-Day Presentation will recording) 

Thursday January 23, 2025 4:00-5:00 PM – Zoom

Beware the power of clothing, colors, traditions, and toys to shape less physically active girls than boys! Despite great advances in recent decades, females remain less physically active than boys, at every stage of life, beginning in infancy. Abundant research shows that, along with the ways that we teach, supervise, and serve as role models for children, the clothes, toys, and opportunities with which we provide them all meaningfully influence the development of their physical skills and self-efficacy.
The purpose of this session is to increase awareness of gender socialization and its power to decrease physical activity among girls and women, so that more people can help create environments that more equitably promote physically active lifestyles, physical fitness, and athleticism.
