One of the most important gifts we can give our children is the ability to feel good about their family's uniqueness.
Children thrive when they learn that different family structures exist and that all families are wonderful as long as the people in them love and care for one another.
Did you know that more than half of all children live in non-traditional families? Nonetheless, a segment of society regards the so-called traditional family as ideal. When this ethos is passed down from adults to children, it can perpetuate bias and ignorance, resulting in taunting and bullying of children in single-parent households, same-sex families, and every other variation.
“It caused problems for educators,” says Parr, “because parents were opposed to their children hearing this factual information, even if it was presented in an age-appropriate manner.”
