Myths about Men Who Work with Young Children: Male Caregivers Need Acceptance and Support
Nelson, Bryan G.
Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, n160 p16-18 Nov-Dec 2004
There are many myths about why so few men work with young children. There are many more stereotypes about those men who do. These myths and stereotypes make it difficult for men to enter or remain in careers working with children. Consequently, most young children never experience having a man as a teacher or caregiver. In this article, the author talks about the myths and stereotypes about men who work with young children. He also stresses that when men are encouraged, supported, and accepted as teachers and caregivers of young children, only then they will enter and remain in early education.
