How to Support Your Trans Child, Part 13: Jump In and Participate
A powerful way to support your transgender child is by jumping in and participating in their interests, events, and hobbies. When your child expresses an interest in attending Pride events or joining trans support groups, being actively involved alongside them sends a message of unwavering support and solidarity. Your presence in these spaces shows that you not only accept their identity but also value the things that are important to them. This active engagement can make a significant difference in your child’s confidence and sense of belonging.

Pride Month serves as an important reminder that we must remain vigilant and continue advocating for the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals everywhere.
