As a parent in this situation, this is not a good take at all. My child is loved and accepted without pause or interruption. Do I refer to them as their new name? Yep! Do I use their preferred pronouns? Yep! Have I slipped, yep, and then I've corrected myself, or my wife has corrected me and I fix it immediately.

I thought that Ramsey was a Christian company. John, your advice on this issue is not in alignment with a Biblical Worldview. Are you a Christian first or a therapist first? You really need to decide. @Dave Ramsey , do you support John's advice on this issue?

hey I love my kids no matter what and will never jeopardize my relationship with them. I'd grieve too but I would adapt. the suicide risk for trans is already too high.

hi there, i have experienced this. you do not own your child, you do not make a picture for your adult child, that is freaking weird. Respect your child by referring to them as they wish. seriously this is bad advice....but hey, I actually love my kid

This is why I will control what my children will have access to on the internet

You do not get to decide those things. You love and accept your child unconditionally. Period!

If your kid trusts you enough to tell you who they are, it’s a gift. Be grateful. “Take a minute” on your own time. Be there for them the way they need you to be, period.

Excuse me? That's a messed up take to say the least. As the mom to a non binary kid, it should not matter what gender our kid identifies as, or what name they want to go by. For fuck's sakes all that should matter is our kid's happiness.

I absolutely agree John!!! I get to decide just like u decide to kill every hope and dream I've had as a parent!!! Parents shouldn't be villains because we are mourning of all our hopes and dreams!!

Up means down :
I will always only love one person unconditionally, and that is my child. If you cant love your child no matter what, you shouldn't be a parent.

Schools and social media are a problem.

That minute can turn into the rest of your life. Don’t become someone they speak about in the past tense. Love them exactly as they are not who you wish they’d be.

dear parents - start accepting the reality of the possibility when you have a child. that they will disappoint your expectations in a thousand ways, and decide on day one that you will love them anyways.
and relationships are all or nothing if you choose a word over not hurting your kid.

Has the explosion of social media caused more young people to become transgender?

Parents might get a minute, but that doesn’t erase the harm that minute might do to their child. If the parents reaction breaks the child’s core belief that their parents love them unconditionally, then it’s the parents’ responsibility to repair that, and call their reaction wrong. They still need to take responsibility and ownership of it. The picture they have in their head is not more important than their real child and their attachment to their child.

This is what I always told my child. I believe in freedom and freedom to be the person you want to be. But freedom includes others not being ok with your choices it goes both ways. Do what makes you happy but expecting others to go along with it is not reasonable and you have to decide how that affects your relationship with them. That includes family.

Tell their child no more social media until they're an adult, then they can choose.

All it took for me to accept my trans child was to remember its his life and it's a privilege to watch it unfold. It is so simple to call him by the name he chose and properly address him. Its just love.

I was just about out when he said "you get to decide whether you call them by their new name or refer to them as their new gender" but then he said the important part "then they get to decide whether or not they want to have a relationship based on your decisions"

Parents can also choose to not have unreasonable expectations for their children. Don’t be like “my kid will grow up to be a doctor” and then crash out when they don’t want to be. Don’t be like “I’ll walk my daughter down the aisle one day”. Maybe she won’t want to get married. Maybe she’ll want a court house marriage. Maybe that kid will turn out to be trans. The problem is then parents’ expectations. Not the child’s life.
