In today’s culture, many kids are turning to social media for answers about gender identity, sexuality, and self-worth, often before they ever talk to their parents.

In this powerful episode of Practice Makes Parent, Dr. Danny Huerta and Rebecca St. James sit down with Dr. Jeff Myers (Summit Ministries) and Dr. Kathy Koch (Celebrate Kids) to help parents respond with truth, grace, and confidence.

We discuss:
The difference between gender confusion vs. gender dysphoria
Why kids search online instead of talking to parents
How social media shapes identity and spreads ideology
How to build trust so your child comes to YOU first
Validation vs. affirmation, and why the difference matters
What to say when your child says, “I’m confused about my gender”
How to raise gender-confident kids grounded in their God-given identity

If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed, fearful, or unsure how to respond this conversation will give you practical tools, biblical clarity, and hope.
