Episode Synopsis

A follow up discussion of big block play takes a closer look the role of gender dynamics in this play. Who are the bosses? Who gets to be in charge of the block area? The answers are not all tied to gender, but if we pretend it doesn't have a role, we are missing something. The conversation extends to how our language and actions influence children's developing understanding of gender roles and expectations.
