No More Boys And Girls: Can Our Kids Go Gender Free?

No More Boys And Girls: Can Our Kids Go Gender Free?

Episode 2 (1x2)


: 23, 2017

In this concluding episode Doctor Javid heads out of the classroom to try and tackle inequalities closer to home. He explores how the toys children play with in this pink and blue world shape the skills they develop. This time Doctor Javid decides to set the parents homework to remove gendered toys, reconsider the nicknames they use, and the way chores are shared. He sets the children tasks to make a picnic or build a fire to see whether the changes in their parents’ behaviours have impacted the boys and girls' choices. There is another significant change at school but not all the children are on board, and on the last day of term, Doctor Javid retests Mr Andre’s class to see whether the changes have altered the way the boys and girls think. Will his experiment have worked?
