Description

In this compelling episode, we sit down with the co-authors and partners, Alex Ritter and Alex Kenworthy, to delve into their groundbreaking book, "Your Baby Girl Likes Girls." This invaluable resource offers crucial insights and advice for parents and their queer daughters navigating the often challenging journey of coming out. We emphasize the vital need for an open, accepting environment for children to express their thoughts and feelings, whether they embrace their true selves at a young age or later in adulthood. Our discussion revolves around essential tips for parents, encouraging curiosity, patience, and understanding. We underscore the significance of letting the child determine when to share their identity, and the detrimental effects of being closeted on individuals and relationships. Tune in to learn more about fostering a supportive, loving family environment that embraces authenticity and promotes understanding.    Connect with Alex and Alex on Instagram @yourbabygirllikesgirls and don't miss the opportunity to order their enlightening book, "Your Baby Girl Likes Girls."
