Gender wise
Article Abstract:
Children notice gender differences from the age of two years as they are able to understand words like boy, girl, lady, and guy, and apply these labels to themselves and by preschool age, their comprehension of gender images and behavior is solidifying. This can be changed by informing girls and boys them that they can play with all kinds of toys, wear all sorts of clothes and enjoy a wild range of activities-from sports to the arts.

Body confidence
Article Abstract:
Children get messages about physicality early on as girls are praised for their looks and boys for their physical prowess, in our society. The important thing to do is show satisfaction and appreciation of the child's body, celebrate that people come in different sizes and shapes, point out varying cultural ideas of beauty-sumo wrestlers, Samoan royalty- and help the child realize that perceptions are as diverse as the world.
