Dear Queenie,
My daughter isn’t interested in girl toys like dolls or clothes like dresses, she prefers boys’ toys like cars and trains and clothes like pants and T-shirts.
Queenie, how should we handle this?—Worried parents
Dear Parents,
I suspect your question is really about your child’s sexual orientation. That is something that is inborn and nothing you can do now or later can change it.
However, the way you treat your child now will affect her all her life. It is important that she feels loved and accepted for whoever she is and supported in whatever her interests are, even if she prefers sports to art, music and/or dancing.
