Love is love

RAISING  FUTURE INCLUSIVE ADULTS START WITH US 

Talking about all kinds of love with our kids at home can be done natural and openly. Answer questions. Nurture open minds around everything that is. 

It's important to engage in all sorts of conversations that revolve around love. Explain and sustain that love is love, despite of who you love. One curious amazing thing is that kids accept everything before they (sadly) start hearing someone moking or making certain remarks. Then they start questioning.  They get confused. Judgement is a learned thing. It's not an inborn condition.

There are families of all sorts. Some kids have a mom and a dad, some kids have two moms, other kids have two dads, others only have a dad, others just a mom, an aunt, a grandparent. The reality is endless. 

We have to double down on love at home.  And accept, know and share that loving someone of your own gender is exacyly the same thing as loving someone of the opposite one. And either one is natural, amazing and something to be celebrated! 

Cause, you know, it's 2022. And in closets there should only be clothes, dishes and  shoes.

Not hearts.
