In this short book A Parent’s Guide to Teaching Your Children About Gender, Jared Kennedy presents a guide to help Christian parents navigate one of the most complex issues of our time: gender. Parenting is never easy. And in today’s culture, it is as difficult as ever. Questions about gender identity and expression are increasingly part of the conversations our children are having at school, with friends, and even within our homes.

As parents, it’s natural to feel uncertain about how to navigate these complex topics in a way that aligns with our faith and values. A Parent’s Guide to Teaching Your Children About Gender is a thoughtful resource designed to help parents engage in these important discussions with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

This guide offers biblical insights and practical advice to assist parents in guiding their children through questions of identity, purpose, and design. Grounded in Scripture, it emphasizes the importance of instilling a God-centered understanding of gender, helping children see themselves as intentionally created and deeply loved by God. Whether your child is young or a teenager, this guide provides age-appropriate strategies for fostering open, honest conversations that encourage children to embrace the truth about who they are.

“More vital than worldly affirmation is encouraging your son or daughter to grow in confidence as the person God made them to be.”

Jared Kennedy

Jared offers wisdom, reassurance, and clear explanations for step-by-step guidance to parents seeking to understand and address various issues related to gender and sexuality. The book reveals the heart of a shepherd and carefully applies the hope of the gospel to the many challenges related to these issues arising among children and young people today.
