Supporting your child through their self-discovery journey can seem intimidating at first, so we sat down with Mac Walsh (she/he/they) and their mom, Heather Walsh (she/her), to share Tips for Parents of Gender Diverse Youth. We're appreciative of their insights and lived experience and hope it can help other community members!

This video will answer the following questions you may be asking yourself:

"What should I say or not say when talking to my child about their gender identity? Is language important?"

"What should I say or not say when talking to my child about their gender identity? Is language important?"

"What specific things should I do to support my child?"

"How do I know if this is who my child is or if it is “just a phase?”"

"How do we help our child/teen “come out” in a safe way?"

"How do we decide on and/or support our child/teen when making physical changes like hormones or surgery?"

"What are the best places/people to help me understand and support my child?"
