Case 6: Don’t Let My Son Dress Up as a Girl”
Four-year-old Victor enjoys playing dress-up in the dramatic play area. Typically a quiet and reserved child, he becomes a leader when playing dress-up,
particularly when he is pretending to be a firefighter, princess, bumblebee, or mom. One day his father Leo, who rarely visits the center, comes to pick up his
son and sees Victor dressed in a pink princess costume. Leo is visibly annoyed and tells Meredith, Victor’s teacher, that he does not want her to allow Victor
to play in the dress-up area in the future. He then orders Victor to change and quickly leaves with him.
The center is devoted to fostering relationships with all of it’s families, and Meredith has recently made great strides in attracting Victor’s family to potlucks
and school workdays. The staff collectively believe that in addition to building children’s imaginations, dramatic play enhances their social and
communication skills and is an integral part of the learning process that gives children opportunities to develop abstract thinking, literacy, math, and social
studies skills.
