Jason, my 4-year-old son, likes to play with a doll I gave him, tucking her in each night and having tea with her every morning. My husband keeps giving him trucks to distract him from the doll, but Jason doesn't seem interested in the vehicles. What is my husband trying to do?

Question

It seems like the husband is trying to discourage Jason from playing with a doll, which he may see as a "girl toy" and instead encourage him to play with more "boyish" toys like trucks. This reinforces gender-specific behaviors and stereotypes, which may limit Jason's interests and development.
