The Dream Gap
Starting at age 5, many girls begin to develop limiting self-beliefs. They stop believing their gender can do or be anything. This is the Dream Gap and what we hope to overcome by teaching parents and other influential adults, the importance of gender stereotypes in the early years, and how they can avoid them.
