Answer:

Parents socialize gender in many ways: they are models, reinforce/punish children's behaviors, select children's environments and shape opportunities within those environments, and scaffold children's skill development. Toys play an important role in children's gender socialization and educational pathways. They stimulate pretend play and social play as well as the development of cognitive skills. Many toys are stereotyped as appropriate for one gender rather than the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.
