The Gender Creative Child

Pathways for Nurturing and Supporting Children Who Live Outside Gender Boxes

By: Diane Ehrensaft

From a leading US authority on a subject more timely than ever—an up-to-date, all-in-one resource on gender-nonconforming children and adolescents In her groundbreaking first book, Gender Born, Gender Made, Dr. Diane Ehrensaft coined the term gender creative to describe children whose unique gender expression or sense of identity is not defined by a checkbox on their birth certificate. Now, with The Gender Creative Child, she returns to guide parents and professionals through the rapidly changing cultural, medical, and legal landscape of gender and identity. In this up-to-date, comprehensive resource, Dr. Ehrensaft explains the interconnected effects of biology, nurture, and culture to explore why gender can be fluid, rather than binary. As an advocate for the gender affirmative model and with the expertise she has gained over three decades of pioneering work with children and families, she encourages caregivers to listen to each child, learn their particular needs, and support their quest for a true gender self. The Gender Creative Child unlocks the door to a gender-expansive world, revealing pathways for positive change in our schools, our communities, and the world.

Gender Born, Gender Made

Raising Healthy Gender-nonconforming Children

By: Diane Ehrensaft

A groundbreaking guide to caring for children who live outside binary gender boxes We are only beginning to understand gender. Is it inborn or learned? Can it be chosen--or even changed? Does it have to be one or the other? These questions may seem abstract--but for parents whose children live outside of gender "norms," they are very real. No two children who bend the "rules" of gender do so in quite the same way. Felicia threw away her frilly dresses at age three. Sam hid his interest in dolls and "girl things" until high school--when he finally confided his desire to become Sammi. And seven-year-old Maggie, who sports a boys' basketball uniform and a long blond braid, identifies as "a boy in the front, and a girl in the back." But all gender-nonconforming children have one thing in common--they need support to thrive in a society that still subscribes to a binary system of gender. Dr. Diane Ehrensaft has worked with children like Felicia, Sam, and Maggie for over 30 years. In Gender Born, Gender Made, she offers parents, clinicians, and educators guidance on both the philosophical dilemmas and the practical, daily concerns of working with children who don't fit a "typical" gender mold. She debunks outmoded approaches to gender nonconformity that may actually do children harm. And she offers a new framework for helping each child become his or her own unique, most gender-authentic person.

Spoiling Childhood

How Well-Meaning Parents Are Giving Children Too Much - But Not What They Need

By: Diane Ehrensaft

This book vividly encapsulates the absurdities, heartbreaks, and possibilities of contemporary child rearing. The book shows how parents today are all too often caught up in a guilt-driven pendulum swing between parenting too little and parenting too much. Dr. Ehrensaft suggests innovative ways to overcome the treacherous balancing acts of work and family demands. She invites us to replace perfect parenting with 'good-enough, ' trade harriedness for harmony, and give our children a healthier environment in which to grow.

The Gender Affirmative Model

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Supporting Transgender and Gender Expansive Children

By: Colt Keo-Meier,Diane Ehrensaft

This book aims to serve as a substantive guide to inform clinical work with prepubertal children according to the gender affirmative model (GAM). It provides the essential education for psychologists, other mental health providers and professionals from other disciplines to be able to provide culturally competent care to this population of children and their families. In addition, the book lays the groundwork for further dialogue on and research into developing sound practice for working with transgender and gender expansive (TGE) children and their families. All chapters examine the issue of TGE children from the perspectives of the individual, the family, and culture. The book focuses on children; because gender identity develops in early childhood and sexual orientation develops closer to puberty. The book is organized into thirteen chapters. Chapters two through six focus on the individual child in development and psychotherapy. It brings the reader through developmental theories of gender development, provides tools to sharpen skills at differentiating gender identity and expressions, increase consciousness about issues impacting TGE children of color, considers the accompanying psychological factors that often show up alongside gender creativity, and delves into trauma informed practice through the GAM lens. Chapter seven is a comprehensive child and family assessment guide. The next three chapters center on family dynamics and family therapy. Chapters 11 and 12 cover the interdisciplinary, collaborative, and intersectional nature of GAM providers. The final chapter brings up the current limitations of the GAM as well as ideas on where to go from here. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)"--Preface.
