This week's episode is all about gender in schools. Any child who is going through a gender journey will need a support system in school. There is an understanding that we need to become inclusive, but many people don't know what that means on a practical level and what comes next. Dr. Laura Anderson brings on guest Cath Brew to help highlight what needs to be different or recognized at school for your child to feel safe, seen, and supported in their two primary environments of home and school.Cath is an artist who educates and illustrates about marginalised experiences for positive change - with a focus on identity, belonging and expat life. She works with international schools on whole-school LGBTQ+ inclusion together with empowering LGBTQ+ students to be proud. Cath hosts Talk-Back Tuesday: a weekly LGBTQ chat on social media, whilst her podcast ‘Drawn to a Deeper Story’, explores the ‘lives that challenge us and the difficult conversations around them’. Cath also runs 'Crock-of-shit-free' Spiritual Guidance - she helps clients to find inner peace and heal from emotional wounds including ancestral trauma, limiting beliefs, difficult relationships and other internal struggles. Her illustrations can be found on a range of gifts in the Drawn to a Story online shop.What You Will Learn:The importance of understand the difference of sex and genderIt is important to be thorough in changing paperwork needed to reflect your child's new identityPlanning discussions with your child on if they want to tell the school about their new identity and how they'd feel comfortable doing soTeaching your child how they can reclaim language and reframe their mindset on certain wordsUnderstanding the possibility that your child may come out at school prior to coming out at homeResources:Web: www.drawntoastory.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drawntoastoryFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrawntoaStory
