Do you think the posibilty of a child being LGBT should be written in all parenting books?

Pertaining to the topic. Not the books about caring for children, but books about caring for teenagers. Do you believe these should include that possibility, along with coming out, the process, how to support your child, and everything else a parent wouldn't necessarily be aware of? Apart from having LGBT-focused books?Do you think the posibilty of a child being LGBT should be written in all parenting books?
It would be nice if there was a chapter about glbt issues in parenting books. There are MANY resources on how to support a gay child as it is, but unfortunately parents have to actually want to seek these resources out. Parents who are having a hard time dealing with their child's sexual orientation probably don't want to seek those kinds of resources. Parents like that are more inclined to try to find resources that can help ';fix'; the kids. But, if a chapter about supporting a gay child were in regular books about parenting, I think that would be a good step in teaching parents that it's ok to be gay.Do you think the posibilty of a child being LGBT should be written in all parenting books?
Don't they have books like that already? It seems that after all these years that someone would have put together a manual. I mean doesn't it make sense that someone from PFLAG would have done something? Whatever, yes, there should be a resource for parents. The chances that they will have a gay child are greater the more children they have.
I think a chapter devoted to such issues would be fine. I think when it comes to parenting and LGBT issues, parents have the mind frame of ';not my child'; or ';won't happen in this family'; or are under the pretense of thinking they can somehow prevent their childs sexuality. People like that won't even read the chapter and then, how many people read parenting books. I know I never have. Not shooting your idea down, Victor, cuz I think it's a good idea, I'm just looking at the practicality of it.
yes
Well, there are books for children about having lesbian or gay parents - Two Mommies For Heather springs to mind, so yes, there should be more books for the reverse.





I think there are some books out there, but they probably need to be updated by now. I do believe these books should include what you've mentioned, and they should be updated as often as possible.
I think they should mention stuff like that. But they don't need to make a whole big thing about it. So i think there should be a chapter about it but parents really don't have to think about that unless their child does happen to be lgbt which is unlikely.
I think parents and children should be able to discuss anything, and that school libraries should have available material if the kid needs to look something up on their own, they once had materials like that in school.
