John Sovec has written a pivotal book, examining what is needed to support children, as they come to terms with their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. He provides a coherent, compassionate discussion on all areas of transitioning or coming out as a child comes to terms and acceptance of their identity.
The overriding message is to listen to your child and respond with love, kindness and compassion. ⬇

To assist parents in adequately supporting their children, Sovec has constructed well-thought-out self-reflective questions at the end of each chapter. The purpose this serves is to enable the reader to examine their own beliefs, prejudices, misconceptions, etc.
Out is a truly, outstanding book, examining the impact of coming out as LGBQTIA+ on the child, parents and family. Sovec writes as an experienced LGBQTIA+ counsellor of children and 2y
their families, so he knows his subject well.
This book should be essential reading for anyone involved in childcare, schools and further education. Out provides helpful information and tools for all, not just parents. 2y
