Now, with \u003ci\u003eThe Gender Creative Child\u003c\/i\u003e, she returns to guide parents and professionals through the rapidly changing cultural, medical, and legal landscape of gender and identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this up-to-date, comprehensive resource, Dr. Ehrensaft explains the interconnected effects of biology, nurture, and culture to explore why gender can be \u003ci\u003efluid\u003c\/i\u003e, rather than binary. As an advocate for the gender affirmative model and with the expertise she has gained over three decades of pioneering work with children and families, she encourages caregivers to listen to each child, learn their particular needs, and support their quest for a true gender self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Gender Creative Child\u003c\/i\u003e unlocks the door to a gender-expansive world, revealing pathways for positive change in our schools, our communities, and the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiane Ehrensaft, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003eis a developmental and clinical psychologist.
