b"The go-to resource for parents with trans or gender-questioning children, authored by the parent of a trans child.\\n\\nIf your child or teen recently told you they are transgender, non-binary or genderfluid, you're bound to have questions. You may wonder how best to support your child's transition and doubt whether you are making the right decisions.\\n\\nWhen her son came out as transgender, Tammy Plunkett had the same worries. In Beyond Pronouns, she shares her candid experiences learning to navigate her child's transition and provides clear and practical guidance to help you do the same. She deals with many frequently asked questions, including:\\n\\nIs this a phase?\\nWhy not wait until they're an adult?\\nHow do I tell others my child is gender-diverse?\\nWhere do we start a child's transition?\\nOffering gentle guidance through the first 100 days and beyond, Tammy uniquely addresses the need for parents to be supported so they can best care for their child. You will find ways to face common fears, have important conversations with your child, be a good ally and much more, with age-appropriate approaches that aim for a happy and connected family."
