CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The first stage, gender identity, is children’s basic awareness that they are either boys or girls. The second stage, gender stability, refers to the recognition that gender identity does not change over time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gender identity typically develops in stages: Around age two: Children become conscious of the physical differences between boys and girls. Before their third birthday: Most children can easily label themselves as either a boy or a girl. By age four: Most children have a stable sense of their gender identity.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cognitive Explanations of Gender Development The Cognitive-Developmental Approach emphasises the role of cognitions (how we think) in the process of gender development. As infants grow older physical changes in the brain mean we progress from simple to complex, abstract thought about our gender identity.
