How to Teach Boys to be Fair to Girls

Inside this guidebook, you'll find concise how-to instructions, age-appropriate ideas, and real-life scenarios for teaching boys (ages 6-12) how to grow into enlightened men.

These are the steps we found to be the most effective for getting your message across.

2. Create a gender-equal environment at home.
3. Help him cultivate empathy.
4. Let him be himself.
5. Explain ‘consent’ so he remembers.
6. Help him understand the dangers of gender stereotypes.
7. Clarify that boys are part of the gender-equality solution.
8. Find the right male role model.

Please note: Instead of general advice like 'be a good role model' or 'talk about feelings,' our guidebooks provide specific, age-appropriate examples and step-by-step instructions for integrating diversity and inclusion values into daily life at home.
