<\/div>
\n
\n
<\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Use the child’s chosen name and pronouns<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Respect the child’s identity and use the name and pronouns that they prefer. This can be especially important for gender diverse children, who may feel distressed if they are not referred to by their chosen name and pronouns.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>
\n
\n
<\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Educate yourself and others<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Learn about gender diversity and terminology to better understand the child’s experiences and to create a more inclusive environment for them. It may also be helpful to educate your colleagues and other students about gender diversity and inclusivity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>
\n
\n
<\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Respect the child’s privacy<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

It is important to respect the child’s privacy and to only share information about their gender diversity with those who need to know.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>
\n
\n
<\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Support the child’s social and emotional needs<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Gender diverse children may face additional challenges and discrimination, and it is important to provide a safe and supportive environment for them to learn and grow. Offer support and resources to help the child cope with any difficulties they may be facing.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the most important thing is to be respectful, supportive, and understanding of the child’s needs and experiences. By creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, you can help the child feel comfortable and supported in your classroom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"wbAuthor":{"name":"admin","link":"https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/author\/admin\/"},"wbDate":"Feb 1, 2023","wbCategories":{"space":"For Teachers<\/a>","coma":"For Teachers<\/a>"},"wbComment":0,"qubely_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-scaled.jpg",2560,1709,false],"landscape":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-1200x750.jpg",1200,750,true],"portraits":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-540x320.jpg",540,320,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-768x513.jpg",768,513,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-1024x684.jpg",1024,684,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-1536x1025.jpg",1536,1025,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-2048x1367.jpg",2048,1367,true],"qubely_landscape":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-1200x750.jpg",1200,750,true],"qubely_portrait":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-540x320.jpg",540,320,true],"qubely_thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-8423051-140x100.jpg",140,100,true]},"qubely_author":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/www.catalystfoundation.com.au\/esafetyproject\/author\/admin\/"},"qubely_comment":0,"qubely_category":"For Teachers<\/a>","qubely_excerpt":null,"yoast_head":"\nBeing a teacher of a gender diverse child -
