This book may appeal to you if you're interested in understanding the complexities of gender identity in children from a parenting perspective. The authors provide insights into how families can navigate these discussions sensitively and thoughtfully, offering both personal experiences and professional advice.

Being the parent of a gender-questioning child is confusing. There is a lot of advice out there, but much of it goes against what many parents feel instinctively is the right approach. And the stakes are very high if you get it wrong.

Description

There have been many books written for parents who are facilitating a child's gender transition, but almost none for parents who decide that social or medical transition is not the best option for their child.

Written by three professionals working in the field ‒ Sasha Ayad, Lisa Marchiano and Stella O'Malley ‒ Is My Child Trans? is explicitly a resource for parents who want their children to flourish, but do not believe that hasty medicalisation is the best way to ensure long-term health and well-being.

Parents who have successfully helped their children navigate gender distress without resorting to surgery and hormones have done so by actively taking the reins, not waiting until they found the right therapist or doctor. Is My Child Trans? will tell you all you need to know, and will give you the confidence to trust your own instincts.
