Channeling is the aspect of parental gender socialization where children are directed towards certain toys, activities, and interests based on their gender. This is reflected in Brianna's behavior of pointing out baseballs, showing her son guns and trucks (traditionally seen as "boy toys"), and quickly passing by Barbie dolls (traditionally seen as "girl toys"). Activity exposure refers to the act of providing opportunities for children to engage in different activities, while indoctrination refers to the intentional promotion of certain beliefs or values. Verbal appellation refers to the use of language to reinforce gender stereotypes, such as calling a girl "princess" or a boy "tough."
