Every child arrives with a unique blend of temperament, identity, neurobiology, and developmental needs. Parenting becomes especially complex when a child is LGBTQ+, navigating behavioral-health challenges, struggling socially, or healing from trauma. Too often, families try to parent the “version of the child they imagined.” This in-person panel discusses the importance of seeing your child clearly and how to practice validation, flexibility, and compassion.
