The Problem With "Gender Neutral" Parenting

I don't actually think the opposite of gendered parenting is gender-neutral parenting. I think it's responsive parenting. "I will pay attention. I will follow your lead. I won't assume. I won't panic. I won't decide who you are before you've had chance to tell me." That's beautiful.
