Gender & More - Talking to Kids about Gender

Episode 21 - October 15th, 2020

As the last episode of the mini-series on Gender & More, Seth Day of Rad Child Podcast talks us through How to Talk to Kids About Gender… and More.

 

Talking to kids can feel… overwhelming. 

But with the tips from today’s episode and continued support from Rad Child Podcast 

on topics from body image to religion, I feel more prepared. And I feel empowered to say, I don’t know, let’s find out together.

 

I will take that stance of learning into not just motherhood but life. Because, as we said at the beginning of this 4-part series on Gender & More: We all have to start somewhere.

 

Including:

  • How to say “I don’t know”
  • How to create spaces for whoever your child is
  • Book recommendations 
  • And a tangent about Seth in a dinosaur costume

In the end:

  • Love and Support the kids in your life
  • Trust and Believe the kids in your life
  • Affirm the Feelings of the kids in your life

Down the page are books, toys and social media recommendations to help you along the way. If you have anything to add, use the comment box at the bottom of the page to contact Meghan. Let’s continue the conversation!
