This Week's Focus: Gender Rainbows
This week will talk about different gender identities in a child friendly manner. Around the age of four, children have a concept of their own bodies and start to build their identity around their understanding about gender. We aim to teach acceptance and self-love despite gender norms regardless of what they choose to like and wear, so that they may be able to explore safely.
About the Program: Identifying and controlling big emotions can be hard, especially for young children! Kid Connects in the Neighborhood, a program through Mental Health Partners, will be partnering with the Longmont Library to provide a space for children and caregivers to learn how to identify big emotions and discuss ways to manage those feelings. This will be a fun interactive time for us all to explore and express our feelings!
About the Presenters: Wendy Giron and Natasha White are early childhood mental health workers who have received training in early childhood mental health and development. Both have experience working with young children.
