[The Epoch Times, March 24, 2022](The Epoch Times reporter Zhong Youchun reported) Hong Kong actress Anita Yuen (Pretty), who has a son after marriage, recently shared parenting in the mainland variety show “Friends Please Listen to 2” Experience. When talking about the embarrassment of boys entering the women’s toilet when they go out with their mothers, Anita Yuen’s suggestion was praised as “parenting well”.
In the program, a female listener called and said that when she went to the toilet of the mall, she suddenly saw a small hand pushing the door, and then a pair of eyes looked at her through the door. It turned out that it was a boy who squatted down and looked into the toilet cubicle, which made her come out immediately.
From the female audience’s remarks, we learned that the little boy was actually looking for his mother, and after the mother came out of the toilet, she ignored the boy’s behavior, so the female audience questioned the mother: “Boys also Can I enter the women’s toilet? I’m still looking around.” The mother retorted: “You have to care about the child, does he know what it is at such a young age? You look so kind, and your mind is so vicious.”
The female listener was very angry when she heard this, and felt that the mother was unreasonable.
Anita Yuen shared her experience after listening. She said that when her 15-year-old son “Magic Tong” was three or four years old, she told her son “there are differences between boys and girls”. And when she takes her son out, if there is a need to go to the toilet, Yuan Anita will take her son into the women’s toilet, and then the two will be in the same compartment of the toilet.
Yuan Yongyi said that this not only solves the problem of worrying about the loss of the child, but also prevents the child from causing trouble to others. However, even in the same cubicle, Anita Yuen would ask her son to turn his back to him, not to peek at him, and also said, “I didn’t peek at you when you went to the bathroom”, so that the child would realize that “there is a difference between men and women” and establish Correct gender awareness.
The mainland artist Xie Na, who was on the same stage, bluntly understood the difficulties of her mother, but her mother should take the responsibility of taking good care of her child.
After hearing Yuan Yuyi’s suggestion, many listeners praised that this method is effective, and the awareness of gender identity should be cultivated from an early age. Because after all, in life, in most cases, the mother takes the baby out. It’s okay to have a girl at home. If it is a boy, there will inevitably be a situation where the mother takes her son into the women’s toilet.
