Supporting beliefs

[rainbow1]

I have a question: how can you best support the individuals described in the following in your nursery:

Naomi and Eleanor are same-*** parents to Heidi. They are frustrated with the nursery because Heidi sometimes gets upset that the nursery’s book collection only has stories about ‘normal’ families with a mummy and a daddy

Has anyone got any ideas?

Hi, this scenario would enable you to actively look for titles that support same *** unions. Ask Heidi's parents if they have suggestions or ideas that would improve the diversity of titles available. You could also explain how, when reading books from the shelf you discuss the story characters having a mum and a dad and how other famillies have two dads or two mums that care for them.

Sexual orientation is protected against discrimination under the equal opportunity act 2010. Inviting and engaging the views & perspectives of the setting's parents would be a positive move for diversity, inclusion & supporting awareness.

and tango makes three - wikipedia article is a great male, two dad title.

Hi
What about doing some kind of activity about their families e.g having an outline of a house or something else and then asking them to draw their families that live in the house and then talk about them and sort of turning it into a story about their families, you will probably get alot out of this about each child's life and how different everyone's lives are.

don't know if this will help but trying to think of a different angle that you could take, or making a picture book of a family with the same *** parents.
