Basically, this approach means refusing from many stereotypical nurturing, such as imposing a certain behavioral model onto a child. Now parents are encouraging their children to try things that used to be considered more common for the opposite sex: exchanging toys, wearing comfortable gender-neutral clothes. Even using neutral colors for the child’s bedroom decor.
