    Jan 7 2026

    In this episode of Practice Makes Parent, Dr. Danny Huerta and Rebecca St. James continue their discussion on raising gender-confident children with Dr. Jeff Myers and Dr. Kathy Koch, co-authors of Raising Gender Confident Kids. We continue to discuss the sensitive topics of gender identity, understanding gender differences, and teaching children to respect and harmonize with each other's unique qualities. We'll address how parents can maintain a healthy communication framework with their children on these topics and we answer a listener question about guiding children in a culture of preferred pronouns. This is one of those programs that you'll want to share with your friends.
