Re: Toni the Superhero
I think chores are defined in later stages. At this stage both boys and girls like to do house chores by following mother or father. So I think children will take interest in looking all this.Bookmermaid wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 03:14 Do you think Toni's participating in what was traditionally strictly girls' chores in many cultures be a deterrent or a catalyst for either a father or mother to share this book with his or her boy child ?

I think better thing is to divide the duties. Suppose man will bring all the things required to make a meal from their money and woman can cook. Anyways it's not a hard and fast rule. In our culture mostly women cook. But man also help in one way or the other. This book is avoid example in this regard.bclayton13 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 17:38 I think it would be. I'm an American but my family lives in a very rural area, so the gender roles are still kinda set here. I think a little boy growing up with this would break that mold a little and that's definitely a positive thing. Growing up in the city, I get mad when we're hosting a party and not a single man helps cook or clean up after because it's "woman's work". Ugh. Maybe a little boy pitching in would make them more ashamed of themselves for being lazy!

Of coarse ender roles vary by culture, I am view both girls and boys should be taught all chores. So that they could them, if required later in life.

Hmm, bachelors have to all tasks by themselves. They can't get help of their spouse. So we see such men cooking cleaning or what so ever. And the same case is with a women as they get expert in doing all sort male chores.MsTri wrote: ↑01 Jul 2018, 12:31That's how it was when I was growing up; my mother made sure that BOTH my brother and I learned to cook, clean, do laundry, iron, darn socks, etc. We both also had to mow the lawn and learn to change a tire... Just what the heck do these men think they're going to do between living at home and being married? What about confirmed bachelors? It's just mind-boggling.

I do agree there is that stage in which children are eager to do any task, When both parents are home if the father is doing outdoor chores the son is often trailing behind, observing and sometimes being taught these tasks.Sarah Tariq wrote: ↑31 Jul 2018, 23:47I think chores are defined in later stages.

I totally agree with you. Most children are told to do household chores at early age to inculcate the attitude of being responsible. There are no chores that are traditionally male or female chores, its just a matter of perception. ☺

I couldn't agree more. I think Toni is a great role model for kids.Eva Darrington wrote: ↑27 Jul 2018, 01:16This is one of the things I love about these books. In many ways, they defy tradition. The diversity, the non-traditional gender roles. I really like it and I think this age is the right time to start promoting the acceptance and normalization of differences and individuality. I do love Toni! Even his name is spelled using the more usual spelling for a girl Toni.
