So...is this for girls or for boys?

Have you ever heard someone say, "That's a girl thing!"  

Have you ever been told that boys can't play with dolls?  Or that girls can't play with backhoes?  

Hopefully not!  

There's no such thing as a "girl thing" and there's no such thing as a "boy thing!'

You can watch the first episode of a Better Way right here.  Miss Jill read the book I Love My Purse and you can put it on hold right here.  She also shared this song.    

Here's a link to an article from NPR for parents about "boy" and "girl" toys and some ways you can help prevent stereotyping of activities, likes, and dislikes with your young one.   

And here is a great list of other books for children about challenging stereotyped roles and interests for boys and girls from the Daniel Boone Public Library.  

We are always looking for better ways to serve you and your family!  

And kids, remember if you are a boy who loves trucks-- AWESOME!

If you are a girl who can't get enough pink and purses?  That's awesome, too!

Are you a girl who would rather play in the mud?  Go for it!

Are you a boy who wants to dance?  Let the music move you!

You are you!  You are the best YOU there is!
