- Abstract
In this article,we describe the role that parents in different families may play in the gender identity of their children. Gender identity is a consciousness and an important formative process for children, requiring family education and the influence of social goodwill. It is well known that the family is the first educational environment for children and has a huge influence on their initial identification with the world, including their gender identity. Through in-depth analysis and comparison, this article concludes that different patterns of family formation, the emotional state of parents and their gender identity influence children’s attitudes to gender and gender choices. The education from their parents is the basic building block for children to build their gender identity and children need guidance and understanding from their parents.
