Explore gender roles and how it might show up

What makes a man and Dad in the modern world?

Our research suggests that there still exists in the workplace a strong
stereotype and expectation about what a man is. This contradicts somewhat
with the wider narrative at times so for me it can create conflict in how we
show up ourselves but for the purpose of this exercise, how we want our kids
to show up as they grow up to be future men, women, gender fluid and so on.

What expectations are we putting on to our kids as they grow up? The amount
of times it’s been said for example in our house that Daddy is going to work
or the school run that is still 80% full of Mums doing the school drops and
pick ups.

Do these expectations match what society will create for them too?

It’s a really complex issue isn’t it and one that I think goes unchecked at home
because of that complexity.

So try and consider what this makes you feel like. What stereotypes do you
play up to? What biases do you want to breakdown? How do you want the
kids to embrace gender when they grow up?
