Gone are days when boys are made of "snips and snails and puppy dog tails" and girls are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice"... or are they? We are barraged with messages about gender and heterosexual norms everywhere we go - homes, schools, the media, and more. Do you know what hidden lessons we are learning? How do gender and sexuality affect everything from the way engage in conflict to our very sense of worth? Learn to co-create safe environments for positive self esteem, healthy identity development, and acceptance of differences.
