Gender Development

"Most children have firm beliefs about what it means to be a boy and what it means to be a girl very early in life."

Critically discuss the theories relating to the development of gender roles in childhood and the relative contributions of nature and nurture.

I have to write an essay on this but doing my research, i have found so many different types of theories. I am grade 12 and am wondering which are the main theories that i should use. I am hoping for some notes on how i could go about forming this essay and what the main theories are that i should use.  A detailed outline would be great.

Thank you.
