Be an advocate for your child from "summary" of This Is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids by Dannielle Owens-Reid,Kristin Russo
As your child navigates the complexities of their identity, it is crucial for you to stand up for them and support them in every possible way. Being an advocate for your child means being their strongest ally, their fiercest protector, and their most vocal supporter. It means standing by them in the face of discrimination, ignorance, and prejudice, and fighting for their right to be who they are. Advocating for your child also means educating yourself about LGBTQ+ issues and being willing to have difficult conversations with others who may not understand or accept your child's identity. It means challenging harmful stereotypes, speaking out against discrimination, and creating a safe and accepting environment for your child to thrive in. ...Similar Posts
