1. How do children gain information about gender,
couples and relationships?
First, they learn by observing and participating in
their own families.
However, parents typically do not discuss the
topic of romantic love, marriage or sexuality
with young children;
hence, for many young children their earliest
exposure to these themes likely come from
media sources.
