Q: Grab a journal, diary, or notebook and sit down with it for at least 15 minutes. Think about your mom telling other people you got your period, and write down your thoughts. For example, if your mom told your sister, try writing, "When my mom told my sister I got my period it made me feel" You could also write, "I don't want other people knowing my private business because" Make a list of the things you want to tell your mom during your conversation. Look over the feelings you wrote down earlier and let them guide you. You can take this list with you when you sit down to talk to your mom. Knowing where and when you're going to talk to your mom will help you prepare mentally. Having the conversation as soon as you can means you'll be closer to solving the issue sooner. Waiting too long can cause anxiety and might result in your mom telling more people about your period. Do you usually have some alone time with your mom after school, while cooking dinner, or when she is driving you home from soccer practice? These could be great times to talk with her. If you don't have regular one-on-one time with your mom, ask her if there is a good time the two of you can sit down and talk privately. Try saying, "Mom, there is a private issue I'd like to talk to you about. Can we schedule some alone time to discuss it?"
A: Write down your feelings. Make a list. Pick a time and place for the conversation.

Q: Maybe you have seen that your female child likes to play with toys that are generally considered "male." Keep in mind that just because your daughter likes to play with trucks does not mean that she is transgender. However, if your child consistently displays a strong preference for things that don't conform to gender expectations, it could be something to keep an eye on. A child that is different in a few ways might just be gender non-conforming. A child who is different in a lot of ways, and shows extreme unhappiness at being forced to act like the sex they were assigned at birth, is probably transgender. Remember, most notions of gender are stereotypes. Boys are not genetically predisposed to prefer the color blue, for instance. A child who is transgender will usually show many signs of their true gender. Their imaginary play usually suggests their gender, as well as how they want to dress and groom themselves. A child may be transgender if they show many of these signs: Insisting on shopping in the girls/boys section Choosing a boy/girl name for themselves Preferring friends of the opposite sex (who have the child's desired gender) Making a fuss over haircuts Frequently pretending to be book or movie characters who share their desired gender Hating their genitals Looking up to older boys/girls and wanting to be just like them Begging for books or toys that say "for boys" or "for girls" Wanting to reincarnate as their true gender Crying over the sex they were assigned at birth Being much happier when you let them do something related to the gender they want For example, if your "son" screams and screams over a haircut because she can't bear having short hair, or if your "sister" cries when told that he can't get clothes from the boy's section, this is a sign that your child is transgender. Gender is important, so your child may feel (and act) like the world is ending if they have to pretend to be someone they are not. Notice tantrums over haircuts, clothes shopping, wearing/not wearing the color pink/blue, and other grooming decisions. It may feel like fighting your child to get them to conform to gender roles. Pay attention to arguing. For example, if you say "boys are allowed to wear dresses" and the child says "but I'm not a boy in a dress! I'm a girl!" then the child is probably transgender. Look for behavior problems, depression, and poor mental health. Children who are forced into the wrong gender role may be very upset and act out. They may also internalize negative feelings, which could lead to emotional trouble years later. Luckily, transitioning can usually fix most of this problem. Your child might use their words to express themselves. If your child feels strongly about their gender identify, they might say things like, "I know I'm a boy!" even if they were assigned female at birth. They might also say things like, "No, I'm really a girl!" even if they were assigned male. Gender usually develops around age 3, but some children start earlier, as young as 2 years or 18 months. If your child insists on being called "John" for a weekend, that's not necessarily an indication that the child is transgender. It's also pretty typical for young kids to go through phases of pretending to be a different gender. If your child is really consistent in insisting they are actually a different gender, though, this could be a sign that they are transgender. A child who routinely insists upon their gender is very likely transgender. Transitioning can help the child's social development, focus in school, and emotional well-being, and may reduce behavior problems. Some children do go through a lengthy phase of identifying with a different gender when they are young. That phase will typically end around the age of 9 or 10 years old.[citation needed] Your child might not question their gender identity until they are a little older. Puberty is a common time for teens to begin questioning their gender identity. Changes in the body and in hormones can make your child become more aware of their body and how it makes them feel. Puberty and the years after are common times for children to begin exploring. Listen to them if they begin to say that they feel they are actually the opposite gender. It can be really useful for your child if you allow them the freedom to really explore their gender identity. If your child thinks they are transgender, set aside a weekend or a couple of days and allow your child to "become" the opposite gender for a little while. This might mean, for example, that you call your child "Jennifer" and support their decision to wear a dress. Allow your child to lead in this experiment. Don't pressure them to try things that they don't want to try, such as being called by a different name. Watch your child during the trial run. Do they seem happier or more confident? Are they having more fun? This can help you tell whether this is what makes your child happy. Your child might not be fully comfortable discussing this with you, or you might feel like you aren't really able to give your child the full support they need. Try finding them a counselor or therapist to work with. Look for a licensed professional who has experience in working with transgender children.
A: Notice if your child has gender non-conforming tendencies. Look for signs along the way. Notice signs of unhappiness at being pushed into the wrong gender role. Listen to how your child identifies. Recognize that gender develops young. Look for consistency. Recognize that some children may not understand their gender until puberty or later. Do a trial run, if your child is interested. Allow your child to explore their gender identity with a therapist or counselor.
