Our 6-Year-Old Wanted To Use 'They/Them' Pronouns

As a practice that focuses heavily on the LGBTQIA+ community, we help families navigate the often difficult conversations. One of those conversations is about gender and pronouns. When children are transitioning...or not...they may want to be referred to with a different pronoun than you are used to using. This article by the Huffington Post goes through one family's journey with their children and pronouns. What they realize it that pronoun usage is more than just 'woke' ideology. It is about identity. We strongly recommend that parents read Kate Smith's wonderful, touching, and sometimes hard to read article about gender, pronouns, and childhod identity.
