The lesson “I Am Happy with My Gender and My Gender Role” teaches children about the differences between being boys and girls and how those differences are special and important in making the world and community successful and interesting. Children learn God loves each person equally, no matter which gender they are, the importance of respecting the opposite sex, and certain characteristics of each gender. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 3-5 years, and is the 15th lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Self-Awareness” unit.
