Sometimes, kids say the craziest things.
Well, thats one story for the family books.
Maybe it was nothing important and they just needed to cut down on those horror movies before bed.
But then, one evening, dad spotted something moving by the window.
Spooky, sure, but he quickly dismissed it as some sort of a light trick.
Well, he did catch him in the act, but it wasnt the act you might think.
It was a much younger guy, probably barely old enough to shave.
You know that sinking feeling when you realize youve seriously misjudged a situation?
Well, this dads brain connected the dots with lightning speed.
The distress his daughter heard wasnt distress at allit was teenage awkwardness on a whole new level.
Lets just say that nobody was being hurt in the way the 6-year-old imagined.
And as for dads son?
Well, the look of horror and embarrassment on his face said it all.
Talking to teens aboutLGBTQ+issues involves more than just using the right pronouns.
Its also about welcoming their relationships and friendships with open arms.
Show your teen you care by inviting their partner or friends over for dinner and getting to know them.
Teens may accept that they are LGBTQ but not yet ready to start sharing this information with anyone yet.
After all, love and friendship are universal, regardless of gender or identity.
