Looking forward to hosting the joint BMiEY and @GenderEYE meeting on the 22nd of January! It will be great to discuss our Norway trip, future research and the ongoing campaign to encourage more men into the #earlyyears #gendereye #mitey

Half the population don't see Early Years as a valid career choice - and the other half are underpaid and undervalued when they go into it!

Great to be attached to the @GenderEYE project.

We agree wholeheartedly!

@drbahine Should I have placed 'dad jokes' in inverted commas? Panic stations!

Hands up if you know a boy that struggles with pink because he associates it with ‘girl’? This often kicks in around preschool age when kids become more attuned to societal influences. The good news is they often loosen up about it within a few years but only if encouraged to!
