At the birth of a child, certain anaromical and physiological differences are noticeable that indicate/determine the sex of the child. By raising and growing up in primary and secondary socialization, children become gender aware. The child develops the ability to distinguish between male and female categories very early. By observing and imitating adult, children begin to adopt gender roles and develop a gender identity. Gender identity allows the child to create an image of himself in relation to the characteristics that are considered appropriate for men and woman. Gender identity development is a very important foundation of a child´s emotional development, but adults often associate objects, activities, games, clothing and traits with biological sex and cultural stereotypes of gender and thus influence the emergence of gender-typified behaviors in childern. The presence of differences between fathers and mothers in gender roles influence their adoption in children, so parents and early and preschool educatiors play an important role in raising children. The aim of this study was to detemine whether there is a link between parents attitudes abput typical gender roleswith regard to age, parents level of education, and place of residence. The questionnaire surveyed 255 parents of early and preschool children, and the results show that the level of education and the age of the respondents do not affect their attitudes about the gender roles of their children. However, the variables environment and gender of parents showed an impact on their attitudes about children’s gender roles.
