Reply to:Gender variation refers to the people with a gender expression that is seen as different from the social norm. In the current society, there are different gender variations. They include; transgender, homosexual, and bisexual.Several cultural factors affect gender identity(Turban). One factor is gender roles. It refers to the concept of society on how men and women should behave. As people grow, they are taught how to behave according to their biological sex. Gender socialization also affects gender identity. This occurs through four agents; education, family mass media, and peer groups. The agents interfere with gender roles by creating expectations for gender-specific behavior. Sexism, gender stereotypes, and gender role enforcement also affect gender identity.Gender dysphoria can be treated in several ways. One way is through changes in gender expression and role. Medical treatment can be done through hormone therapy and surgery. Behavioral health treatment may improve well-being, self-fulfillment, and quality of life. Parental support groups can be useful by parents supporting their children with gender dysphoria.

Reply to:Children are naturally high energy, but some have other problems which prevent them in being able to engage properly. ADHD makes a child sitting still is a challenge and difficulty resisting temptation (2021).  Doing homework or even sitting still long enough to eat can get a child scolded quite often. Social skills are absent with interrupting, grabbing, climbing, or speaking at the wrong times are other problems (2021).  The hope is they will grow out of it. Studies continue but believed to have the cause of genetics, exposure to toxic environmental factors such as lead (2021).  Other beliefs are from pregnant mothers drinking alcohol or smoking which can result in premature delivery with low birth rate (2021). Other views not supported are too much screen time or family problems. Medication is well known for treating ADHD but behavior therapy for both child and parents is helpful. As with any child having healthy habits of diet, exercise, and sleep is also recommended (2021).
