Summary
Accepting Your Child’s Identity
In this quick chat episode, we delve into the concept of identity with Dr. Lu Lu, a paediatrician, educator and Life Coach who specialises in youth suicide prevention.
Identity begins at birth. A child is born and is immediately assigned a gender by the doctor, midwife and parents. It's the way it has always been done. But this may not be the way your child identifies. Acceptance is a crucial step. Meet Dr. Lu Lu, an expert in youth suicide prevention and a guide for parents of LGBTQ+ children. Dr Lu Lu draws on her personal experiences to help others navigate this path. Dr. Lu Lu shares her insights and experiences, emphasising the challenges many parents face when coming to terms with their child's identity. Dr. Lu Lu's wisdom and personal journey serve as a source of guidance for parents and a testament to the importance of acceptance and understanding. You can find Dr Lu Lu on INSTAGRAM and via her WEBSITE
