But what if the interests your child shows don't fit those stereotypes?
In Tacoma, Wash., Morgan, age 7, likes to play with toy robots. And a makeup kit.

Morgan's parents say they support his interests – whatever they may be. It's a growing trend in parenting known as raising kids "gender-free."
Now, there are growing resources for parents raising gender-free kids.
Parents Lisa and Dmitri said when Morgan was around 3 years old, he dressed up as Tinkerbell. "We thought it was a phase," Lisa said. "We just laughed and thought 'well, it doesn't hurt anything.' And it never stopped."
