Challenges & Solutions

The phrase “Affirming Parenting” has emerged in association with helping children explore their own gender identity such as affirming your child’s perception of themselves, advocating for their rights, seeking expertise to support your child, protecting them against gender-biased prejudice and other supportive actions. Being an Affirming Parent with children who identify as LGBTQ+ is especially important because they are more at risk for anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. When youth perceive their parents as affirming, the risk of mental health difficulties is significantly reduced. 

While LGBTQ+ kids are more at risk than their gender-normative peers, rates of anxiety, depression and suicidality are soaring among youth in the US. This means that all of our children need Affirming Parenting right now because it is a powerful protective factor. 

This workshop will equip parents, guardians and caregivers with the tools and insights needed to embrace and implement affirming parenting practices that benefit all children. Whether you are new to affirming parenting or seeking to deepen your existing practices, you will gain valuable insights and actionable strategies.

Family Gatherings and Everyday Conversations: Let’s Talk About Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation (2025)

Challenges & Solutions

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 experts for a conversation that will prepare you for an open, ongoing dialogue with your child or teen that is candid, authentic and supportive.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Does the idea of talking with your child about sexual orientation and gender identity feel difficult or even a little scary? 
  • Do you wonder how to raise a child to be open to those issues in themselves and an ally to others? 
  • Are you concerned that your child won’t be safe or accepted or may even encounter bullying because you or they identify as LGBTQ+?

Whether you or your child identifies as LGBTQ+ or you just want to help your kids be more aware and accepting of the range of identities around them, this session is for you.

Clear communication, strong connection, acceptance, and love go a long way in all relationships. And regardless of your child’s identity, bullying is very much a reality especially as civility is diminishing in public discourse. In addition social networking technology has expanded the ways that bullying touches children’s lives. There are proactive steps you can take to equip your child with the tools they need to navigate these difficult situations confidently. Kids who have had conversations with their parents about bullying are more likely to come to their parents for support when they need it. 

Join us for an honest, informative and safe space conversation on this complex topic facilitated by two Peace At Home specialists who are parents as well as professionals in the fields of mental health and family science. Let’s work together to foster a generation of confident, resilient, and empowered individuals. We’ll discuss approaches to arming our children with the skills they need to face the challenges of life with courage and grace.
