Scenario

When parents have different approaches to supporting a child's gender identity

My teenager just came out as non-binary and my spouse and I are both trying to be supportive, but we're handling it completely differently - I'm diving into research and asking lots of questions and they're taking a more hands-off approach, and our kid is picking up on the tension between us even though we both love them. We need to get on the same page somehow.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who share the same goal of supporting their child are discovering that their different processing styles are creating confusion and tension in the family system.
