It opens up a conversation with parents around the possibility they may have an LGBTQ child and shows how heteronormativity can be harmful if not addressed clearly and early. Although not every parent will have an LGBTQ child, their child will jump rope or play tag with a child who is LGBTQ. By showing readers the importance of having open and authentic conversations with children at a young age, Chris Tompkins walks parents through the many ways they can prevent new generations from adopting homophobic and transphobic beliefs, while helping them explore their own subconscious biases. Offering specific actions that parents, family members, and caregivers can take to help navigate conversations, address heteronormativity, and challenge societal beliefs, Raising LGBTQ Allies serves as a guide to help normalize being LGBTQ from a young age. Creating allies and a world where closets don't exist happens one child at a time—and it begins with each of us and what we say, as much as what we choose not to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 466g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151 x 224 x 28 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538136263                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chris Tompkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102201803002,"sku":"9781538136263","price":13.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/96d54224943f53f0fb0c1951dab170be.jpg?v=1632105504","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/raising-lgbtq-allies-a-parents-guide-to-changing-the-messages-from-the-playground","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
