The findings of @GenderEYE study say a clear strategy is needed to recruit more men into early years education.

Please RT. (correct link this time!) Any early childhood settings providing woodwork please complete this survey. The Big Bang Research Project is researching the impact of woodwork on development with a view to support more settings to embrace woodwork https://t.co/YYZ2Wqtvuy

Looking forward to hosting the joint BMiEY and @GenderEYE meeting on the 22nd of January! It will be great to discuss our Norway trip, future research and the ongoing campaign to encourage more men into the #earlyyears #gendereye #mitey

Half the population don't see Early Years as a valid career choice - and the other half are underpaid and undervalued when they go into it!

[BMiEY Network @BMiEYNetwork]

Anyone feel this is their practice? https://t.co/Etk6ipu7AA

[BMiEY Network @BMiEYNetwork]

Great to be attached to the @GenderEYE project.

"If children see men in public roles as carers and teachers, they will grow up thinking that’s a normal job for boys to do.” Our study features in today's @guardian #MITEY https://t.co/TEkm78R25i

[BMiEY Network @BMiEYNetwork]

We agree wholeheartedly!

[BMiEY Network @BMiEYNetwork]

@drbahine Should I have placed 'dad jokes' in inverted commas? Panic stations!

[BMiEY Network @BMiEYNetwork]

@drbahine I own a home pair, a travel pair and an occasionally-going-outside pair. Your situation seems like the next logical step. Pun not intended! Dad jokes about slippers, whatever next?

Hands up if you know a boy that struggles with pink because he associates it with ‘girl’? This often kicks in around preschool age when kids become more attuned to societal influences. The good news is they often loosen up about it within a few years but only if encouraged to!

[BMiEY Network @BMiEYNetwork]

@LetToysBeToys Hopefully the several pink items I own goes some way to show the children in school it's not such an absurd idea.
