Children and Gender During a child ’s development‚ they are exposed to socialization and are taught by their parents and society how they should act; this alters their gender schema‚ often times causing the child to negatively reflect upon society ’s gender roles. The gender schema theory suggests “gender identification emerged from his or her cognitive development and societal influences” (Bem 2).
