"What will it be?" This frequently asked question about the sex of the unborn child alone shows that we have a clear idea of girls and boys: We have a clear idea of girls and boys and these seemingly fixed instances are formative from an early age. But what does this mean for our children growing up? And hasn't it long been time to break new ground? Daniela Thörner explains the meaning of gender, gender identity and sexual orientation. She guides us through all age groups from 0-18 years and has lots of practical tips and important background knowledge to help us guide children in a gender-sensitive way. With astute illustrations by Slinga, the guide offers parents, educators and carers new approaches for their own actions.
