Show Notes
Firstly, what a win that your kid could come to you and share this discovery with you! How many of us hid our identities because we didn’t feel safe enough to express what they might be or were? I’m bisexual and I came to this identity late. When I read this question I was delighted for this kid. He’s 12 and has realised this about himself and it made me realise, in retrospect, how much I would have loved to have had this conversation about my bisexuality sooner. The thing to consider here is that your kid is learning about themselves. And in learning who we are, what we do and don’t like, we have to have experiences. Being able to encourage our kid through their experiences is major. It will be something they remember for life. Because, you know, they may get to a point where this identity no longer fits. And how you supported them through this experience will make all the difference. So join me for this week’s episode where I help you to support your kid when they discover something new about themselves. As always, if it feels right for you, I’d love to welcome you into The Evolve School. It’s currently closed but if you head over to www.sarahsproule.com/evolve you can join our waitlist and I’ll reach out nearer the next enrollment date. Please share this podcast with anyone you know who is building an evolved, communicating family and let’s have more conversations that support us in caring for our kids. x Sarah
