Where is this behavior learned? They certainly weren't born knowing it. I truly believe that if we could improve the way that people are taught from a young age, that we would have a lot more acceptance. waxappleloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303196044882987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518615599963587871.post-2500689314792852612015-05-18T06:23:17.881-07:002015-05-18T06:23:17.881-07:00My teenage daughter has grown up with a cousin who...My teenage daughter has grown up with a cousin who was adopted by her two mommies so it has always been something natural to her. Their acceptance was never an issue in our extended family even though the majority of them are devout Catholics. I'm definitely encouraged that her generation seems much more tolerant and accepting and hope that bodes well for the future.

I encourage gender neutral language and roles within my classrooms. Playing is playing, there are not girl and boy toys, there are simply toys, there are not girl or boy activities, here are simply learning experiences. When we teach acceptance from the get go, when we encourage diversity, we are able to give children the environment in which they can be whatever and whomever their souls are meant to be.<br /><br />sionedkla@gmail.comKassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985856663502841108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518615599963587871.post-45246260424663394502015-05-17T10:41:48.873-07:002015-05-17T10:41:48.873-07:00Excellent parenting! 💜

What makes them ready for being exposed to het at at early age? *side eyes certain popular princessy movies* <br />Unlike adults, they don't automatically equate love with sex. For them, love is just love. High fives from one mom to another who's keeping the communication open and honest about love being love, no matter who it's with.
