When your child approaches you to share or process their thoughts and feelings about gender identity or sexual orientation they are trusting you with their deepest sense of self. These conversations can spark fears for their wellbeing and it can be a struggle in that moment to know how to respond without rejecting or discounting their experience. These issues may challenge your values or beliefs. It might seem that being “straight” isn’t cool and your child wants to explore other options to be more like their friends.
As the holidays approach, you can anticipate that these issues may come up at the dinner table with your extended family. And that might be yet another trigger for you.
Listen in on Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and Experts Cornelius Holmes, LPC, NCC for a conversation that will prepare you for an open, ongoing dialogue with your child or teen that is candid, authentic and supportive.
