Madelyn Taylor IEC 130 Professor Pugh March 24, 2024 “Don’t Let My Son Dress Up as a Girl!” In this scenario, A father (Mr. Jackson) is upset because when he arrived at school his son, Victor was dressed up in a pink princess costume. Mr. Jackson tells Victor’s teacher that he does not want her to allow Victor to play in the dress-up area in the future. Since a rapport has been previously built with Victor’s family, Marge should first attempt to call his parents to the center to further discuss their concerns. She should begin the conversation by emphasizing to Mr. Jackson the value of dramatic play. She should let him know that the center’s staff collectively believe that in addition to building children’s imaginations, dramatic play enhances their social and communication skills and is an integral part of the learning process that gives children opportunities to develop abstract thinking, literacy, math, and social studies skills. She should also let Mr. Jackson know that restricting Victor’s activities in the dramatic play area could cause harm to both Victor and to his classmates. Marge should also reassure Mr. Jackson that preschool play choices are unlikely to be an indication of adult sexual orientation. If, Mr. Jackson is still persistent in his decision, Marge could invite him to spend time in the classroom to see for himself that Victor enjoys a variety of activities, not just dress-up. This would allow his father to observe that even though Victor is usually a quiet and reserved child who usually follows other children’s lead, when engaging in dramatic play, his leadership shines as he cooperatively creates scenarios with his classmates. If, Mr. Jackson stands by his original decision of not letting Victor play in the dress-up

area then Marge should involve her director in helping her to make a decision. One possible solution would be to supply the dress-up area with different pieces of colorful fabric to inspire non-gender-specific play. 2
