2. INTRODUCTION
As related to child and adolescent develop, this presentation
regarding the development of gender roles in children and
adolescents will specifically discuss questions of how do gender
roles develop and change over time, how observable behaviors serve
as an indication of changes in childhood gender identity and
interactions affiliated with gender roles.

4. WHEN ARE GENDER ROLES
ADOPTED?
Although gender roles are first developed at certain ages, gender
roles are progressive throughout one’s lifetime. Below you will
find a graph illustrating the ages in which these gender roles are
adopted:
Gender Consistency: 4 –
early 5 years old
Gender Stability: throughout life.
Approximately 4 years of
age throughout lifetime
Gender Identity: Infancy
through approximately 3
years of age.
6. HOW MIGHT GENDER IDENTITY CHANGE
FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD THROUGH
ADOLESCENCE?
From childhood through adolescence, children are still quite
confused regarding gender. Often times, children believe that
gender is not permanent and is easily changed. They have a
hard time accepting and understanding their body differences
and will often think about changing their body types through
physical activities and behavioral patterns. An example of
this would be females who believe that playing football and
basketball with boys will make them equivalent to a boy or
females who cut their hair short to look similar to males.
These children may later experiment with being same -gender
sexual activities.

Gender is a number of characters define femininity and masculinity. It is quite often referenced as sex (male, female, boy, girl) and is defined by societal norms. Gender roles have a significant impact upon child developed as well as behavioral patterns from infancy through adulthood (Bee & Boyd, 2010). Gender identity is known as the personal conception of whether an individual defines his or her self as male or female, both or neither. Gender stability was introduced by Kohlberg and is an understanding of gender labeling such as hair length, the stability of gender such as growing up fathers. Gender consistency references gender forever remaining the same.
Gender role development is from childhood and continues to develop throughout life. They usually begin at approximately 9-10 months of age and regarding gender identity (telling who is male an female by length of hair and clothing), to gender stability at the age of 4 where children begin to understand males become fathers and females become mothers, through gender consistency where children understand this is a never ending change in life (gender always remains the same).
When children begin to understand gender is forever permanent they typically look for ways to behave based upon their gender. Many children enter the cross gender phase because they find themselves overanalyzing gender and the societal norms as related. This typically happens between the ages of five to seven years old. Regularly, children learn and adopt gender roles that are prevalent in their homes. From these norms, children adopt morals that are often reinforced within their own lifestyles as adults and young teenagers.
