When I got up this morning, I was swept away by this poster.
Although this poster is still last year, and this year is not called "Goddess Day", there is a new name, "Queen's Day".
At this point, Xiaobian's point of view is the same as the vast majority of people, the title of goddess queen and the like does not even have the suspicion of marketing, Women's Day is not a pejorative word, but should be a festival for women to fight for their rights and interests and pursue equality between men and women. All we need to do is shout out "Happy Women's Day" to our fellow women.

On the other hand, Xiaobian is also a little worried, although we emphasize equality between men and women all the time, but in life, there are always some small places that imply traditional gender stereotypes: for example, "girls should play dolls", "What is the use of girls reading in the future, they will marry anyway"; "how do men play with girls" and so on...
In such an environment, how to explain gender equality to girls, how to achieve self-worth as women; at the same time, to tell boys about the respect and love for women; how to balance "being ourselves" and responding to external expectations as parents... This series of topics has become a problem worthy of attention for our generation of parents.
Today, Xiaobian brings this list of women's day books to guide boys and girls to correctly understand themselves and respect others from different angles.

Mother's Day approached, and the teacher asked everyone to write a thank-you letter to their mother, but the little boy wrote it as a "letter of complaint".
No matter what mom says, she has to add a sentence of "Got it?" The little boy felt that he was already a 4th grade elementary school student, "I have long understood, don't worry." Mom said the boy's room was a pigsty and threw away a lot of his treasures. But those little things have a very important meaning, the giraffe that I chewed on, the acorns full of worm eyes that I picked up with my mother...
Finally, the little boy who had no money gave his mother a small gift...
