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.

Diane Ehrensaft, Professorin für Psychologie und Kindertherapeutin, beschreibt ein für sie typisches Dilemma der Erziehung der 90er-Jahre. Einerseits behandeln Eltern ihre Kinder wie kleine Erwachsene, andererseits überschütten sie sie mit Fürsorge und Zuwendung und sehen sie als hilflose Babys an. Ehrensaft stellt die Probleme, die sich daraus für die Familie und die Psyche der Kinder ergeben, in Zusammenhang mit dem gesellschaftlichen Kontext dar (Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf). Sie vermittelt Anregungen, wie die Bedürfnisse der Eltern von denen der Kinder abgegrenzt werden, welche Erwartungen Eltern an ihre Kinder in welchem Alter stellen und wie Kindern sinnvoll Grenzen gesetzt werden können. Anschaulich durch die zahlreichen Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis. - Für Eltern, die sich intensiver mit diesem Konflikt auseinandersetzen wollen. Zur Erstinformation übersichtlicher ist M.
