The gender creative child : pathways for nurturing and supporting children who live outside gender boxes / Diane Ehrensaft, PhD ; foreword by Norman Spack, MD.
"In this comprehensive resource, Dr. Ehrensaft explains the interconnected effects of biology, nurture, and culture to explore why gender can be fluid, 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."-- Amazon.com.
