Presence, Not Fixing: Four Small Actions for Your LGBTQ Kid's Dating Life

What do you actually say when your kid is hurting, and how do you know something's wrong before they tell you?

This is the Friday follow-up to Tuesday's episode on queer dating and breakups. Heather offers four small actions split between the before-it-happens world of prevention and awareness and the it's-already-happening world of simply showing up. The facts equip you, but they aren't what your kid actually needs from you in the moment.

In this episode you'll learn how to:

Open the door to a relationship conversation by asking how it feels instead of how it's goingTrust your gut and gently name a red flag, even when you're afraid of oversteppingHave one line ready for the moment you hope never comes, starting with belief before a single follow-up question

Press play for four small ways to stay present for your kid, before and after heartbreak.
