### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent guide for EVERY parent
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2004*

Kevin Jennings, Executive Director of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network) has co-authored the definitive book on guiding, understanding, and - hopefully - accepting in love your GLBTQ child.  It is primarily targeted toward parents struggling to help and deal with their questioning or coming out teenage child.This book is not specifically about dealing with transgender children, although there are about 30 pages devoted to dealing with issues and problems of Trans teens.  It also talks to people of color and includes young peoples' input to parents.  Cultural messages of gender and sexuality are discussed and techniques of dealing with these messages are offered for consideration.Many of the popular myths about homosexuality and transgenderism are analyzed, with facts presented to aid in accepting and understanding.  Suggestions are provided for dealing with friends, your teen's friends, neighbors, and coworkers.  Signs of trouble are discussed, along with suggestions for helping your teen deal with them.While the advice is directed toward sexual and gender diversity, the advice applies to dealing with any youth.  The principles of dealing with children apply globally.So what is the secret?  The title says it best - "Always My Child."  Your child's needs come first, no matter what.  Love your child; don't pressure them, but encourage them to discus their feelings, fears, and problems.

    Important to read
  

*by L***Z on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2015*

The book is written with sensitivity and understanding of both the teen's and the parent's feelings and fears, without sugar coating.  The book is a few years old now and it is amazing how much has changed in this country in respect to popular cultures attitudes towards the LGBT community, but the book is still very relavent and we still have a long way to go.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A little outdated
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2011*

My son is 14 and is gay.  I was hoping to get a little more knowledge on how raising a gay teenager was different from any other teenager.  This really didn't help that much.  It seemed more geared toward pre- "coming out."  Also, the book is about 8 yrs old, and it seemed outdated already.  Then again, much has happened in 8 yrs.
