Check understanding

  • Define what a stereotype is in their own words
  • Identify a common stereotype and explain why it is inaccurate
  • Challenge a stereotype they encounter by giving a counter-example
“If someone says 'boys don't cry' or 'girls aren't good at maths', can your child explain why those statements are unfair stereotypes that don't apply to everyone?”
