A Way to Invest in Human Capital is to Value our Children
ABOUT MESSAGE FOR PARENTS
We live in an age where information is readily available. We adapt to function: using credit and debit cards instead of cash or turning to Netflix, Vimeo, and YouTube for news and entertainment.
We verify appointments via text messages, emails, or online. We hold conference calls via live webcams. We chase information to gain a greater understanding of subjects or to learn new information or skill sets. We insist there are only two gender identities; male or female. Some children explore their identity through ages 2-4; adolescents may express non-binary or struggle with gender incongruity. Others may only figure it out much later.
Meet some parents of transgender, intersex, gender-diverse, and two-spirit kids, youth and young adults, and professionals interviewed for an upcoming documentary.
Check back frequently to keep up-to-date with our posts.
