An essential guide for parents and caregivers to raising queer-friendly children in a gender-affirming space.

In the face of so many injustices across society for LGBTQ+ people, it can be easy for parents of young children to feel helpless and hopeless. While they may not be able to address every problem across the country, there's a simple place to start: right at home.

Rainbow Parenting is an indispensable stepping stone for adults who want to raise and teach kids in a queer and gender-affirming way, but might not know how. Lindz Amer, the creator of Queer Kid Stuff, an award-winning LGBTQ+ educational webseries for children and families, is an expert guide, leading readers through practical applications, important LGBTQ+ history, key lessons in intersectionality, pronouns, social justice, and more. Divided by sections that address kids' individual ages―from infancy to kindergarten―this joyful and approachable book shares a bit of hope and starts with the understanding that anyone can spread queer joy.

By giving parents and their kids a vocabulary to express themselves, Rainbow Parenting ultimately aims to create more empathetic adults―and spreads a message of radical acceptance in a world where it's sometimes dangerous to just be yourself.

Do you want to cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and realize your full potential? Then it's time to meet your Shadow.

This beginner-friendly 10-week journey guides you along a path of self-discovery through Shadow Work - a process of exploring and claiming unconscious desires, hidden impulses, hopes and fears.

While popularized by Jungian Psychology, Shadow Work draws on a rich tradition of spiritual practices that span centuries, from tarot and astrology, and spellcraft to meditation, all of which acknowledge that the more willing we are to look into our depths and uncover what is concealed, the more at peace we’ll be with ourselves and our world.

Each week, Shadow expert Chelsey Pippin Mizzi guides you through short lessons, journaling prompts, visualizations, field trips and creative exercises designed to help you safely explore and engage with your Shadow, including:

-Meeting and naming your Shadow
-Dream journaling to study your Shadow
-Holding a candlelight vigil to illuminate your Shadow

The book takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery through nine chapters, discussing everything from self-stimulation, exploring sexual orientation, communicating wants and desires with a partner, staying safe online when sexting, exploring erotica and porn and creating private content – but at the core is the pervading importance of owning your sexual self.
