Detailed explanation-1: -Most children between ages 18 and 24 months can recognize and label gender groups. They may identify others as girls, women or feminine. Or they may label others as boys, men or masculine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Kohlberg’s cognitive developmental theory of gender is divided into three stages, the first being gender identity, the second being gender stability, and the third gender constancy. Each stage represents a different level of understanding that a child goes through during development.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 1 is known as gender identity, by the age of 2-3.5. children can correctly identify themselves as boy or girl when asked. However, they don’t understand this is permanent. Stage 2 is known as gender stability, at about age 4-5, the child knows that they are a boy or a girl and that their sex will no change.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gender constancy – that is understanding that being male or female is a fixed personal attribute – does not develop completely until around age six to seven.
