Childhood and Gender

Directed Time Tasks for this week :)
I've have done a key word search on childhood and gender, and found some interesting journal articles through Google Scholar on aspects of gender, they focus mainly on the social construction of gender identity.

Fagot, BL., (1985), Gender identity: Some thoughts on an old concept, Journal of the american academy of child psychiatry, 24(6),  pp.684-688.

Green, R., (1968), Childhood Cross-Gender Identification, Journal of nervous and mental disease, 147(5), pp.500-509

Ruble, D. N., Taylor, L. J., Cyphers, L., Greulich, F. K., Lurye, L. E. and Shrout, P. E. (2007), The Role of Gender Constancy in Early Gender Development. Child Development, 78(4), pp.1121–1136.

Also, I have found these additional books not on our reading list through the Warwick Catalogue for further reading.

Martin, B., (2011). Children at play: Learning gender in the early years, Dulles : Stylus Publishing.

Root, AK., Denham, SA., eds., (2010). Focus on gender: parent and child contributions to socialization of emotional competence, San Francisco : Jossey-Bass.

Lastly, I have found a YouTube clip showing three panelists, including Dr. Ken Zucker a controversial gender identity professional, discussing and giving their views on typical and atypical gender identity in children.
