Gender, Clothing and individuality with Elizabeth Brunner

Elizabeth joined us from San Francisco – she is founder of Stereotype Kids which was set up because her Boy / Girl twins didn’t want to be restricted to wearing their own clothes and wanted to wear each others. We chatted about: Why Elizabeth feels it’s important to challenge traditional views on boys and girls clothing and to allow the children to dress for joy rather than what they ‘should’ be wearing’. Friends and family reactions to the children wearing clothes that they didn’t think they should be. ‘Dressing is expressing’ - how this is where Elizabeth wants her children to be and feel comfortable in what they wear with no limits. Dressing children (not just twins etc) in the same clothes and how Elizabeth feels about that. Individuality and the importance of allowing children to express their personality / style etc. Stereotype – which is a gender inclusive clothing line. “You were born to stand out” is their tagline. Matching outfits as a family.  Responding and reflecting if your child wants to wear something you don’t want them to and allowing them to do this freely. What if other children or adults (or you) have an adverse reaction to what your children are wearing. School uniforms and the responsibility schools have to ensure gender equality in what the children can wear. Slogans on tops and colours for children of both genders. Stereotypekids.com (clothing will be available in the UK next year 2025) Instagram @bespokefamily / @stereotypekidsofficial Facebook @bespokefamily For information about a Bespoke Family Parent Consultation click here: https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/parent-consultations    ‘Your Guide to...’ (our downloadable webinars including behaviour, toilet training, sleep and more)  This podcast is produced by Decibelle Creative
