Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender roles tend to begin to develop around 3 or 4 years of age, so it is not necessarily a cause for concern that a 2-year-old is not displaying stereotypically feminine behavior at this time. Children develop at their own pace and may express their gender in a variety of ways.
