Kids develop concepts of gender, families, and love before the age of five; it’s important that adults have the information they need to support young children in feeling safe and confident in their bodies, families, classrooms and world. They might wonder:
- What everyday influences shape my child’s sense of what it means to be a “boy” or a “girl”?
- How do I support a child’s exploration through play of concepts like family and gender?
- What strategies can I use to encourage children to feel safe and confident in their bodies?
This free webinar series is for parents, caregivers, and anyone who wants a more expansive, welcoming world for young children.
