83. What Every Parent Should Know About Supporting LGBTQ+ Tweens—Even Before They Come Out
"This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior."
Has your child come out—or are you wondering how to handle it if they ever do?
In this heartfelt episode, Tess welcomes John, a leading voice in LGBTQ+ family support, to guide single parents through what can be a confusing and emotional journey. From understanding gender and identity, to navigating grief, fear, and acceptance, John offers real tools to help you support your child while giving yourself space to process.
- Learn the difference between “assigned sex” and “gender identity”—and why this matters in parenting.
- Understand the grieving process parents often go through—and how to move toward healing and connection.
- Discover how to start open conversations about LGBTQ+ identity—even before your child comes out.
Hit play now to learn how to support your child with compassion, clarity, and calm—no matter where you are on this journey.
