In today’s society where there are so many uncertainties about the best way to raise a child, parents are in need of sure and definite answers, particularly in an era which claims that sexuality and gender orientation are supposed to be inborn. In Raising Gender-Confident Kids, Dr Melvin Wong reveals that gender identity and gender orientation have a lot to do with early childhood parenting, and provides practical steps to raise gender-confident kids. He beckons and challenges parents and caregivers to a higher level of functioning so that they can offer something only they can give their children - Gender Confidence.
