Gender, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation

I feel that gender identity is a sensitive subject when it comes to early childhood education. It is sensitive in a sense that children may at most cases view everyone as friends and as a girl or a boy. When we start children at a very young age to start labeling other people, that is what they will grow up to do. Homosexuality would be something that a child discovers at a later age, but not during early childhood education. It is important to maintain the innocence of a child rather than informing them of what is not necessary at their age. This goes the same to books. Books should for early childhood education should avoid putting labels to others, especially homosexual, disability or any form of race. Children are better off learning about these subject at grade level school.
