Peer communication can affect children’s gender role socialization in several ways, such as promoting preschool children’s gender identity, guiding preschool children’s gender role behavior and changing pre-school children’s gender stereotype. However, there are some problems causing it can not play its positive role, such as parents’ intervention, teachers’ lack of attention, teachers’ improper guidance, and so on. The strategies of using peer communication to promote the socialization of gender roles of preschool children in clued teachers should attach importance to home cooperation, improve their own androgynous educational literacy, and correctly guide the peer communication of pre-school children.
