Show Notes

This week we’re finding out how to talk to your primary school aged kid(s) about an uncle who’s transitioning into an aunt.

It’s totally understandable if strong emotions are present as this is a sensitive topic that can impact more than just your family. Your parenting community may be affected too, and how might they feel if your kid starts telling their kid this new info?

The bottom line is you want to do your best for your kid(s), but you’re not sure what that looks like or how to even do it?

So in this episode we use the growth pillar to cover layering, gender expression, acceptance, and pronouns.
