Transgender Children: An educative and supportive brochure for their parents and educators

Abstract

This project was a functional thesis. A fragment of the objectives was to discover how open-minded and ready people were to integrate and include Transgender children into society. There were no visual elements at day cares available at these centres. A brochure would be the material to be presented to anyone who would need it. Thus, as part of an initial idea, present some facts and how it may affect not to feel integrated and the minor having lack of peer support at early stage. Part of the objectives were inquiring into children’s well-being during their transition at Early years’ centres. How professionals and their guardians could work together by providing tools that can be used for their protection and prevention of bullying. Taking this into consideration, the prevention of potential traumas, supporting and creating a safe network available for them is paramount. The data and discoveries were congregated from the Trans community and from the (50) partici-pants that wanted to take part in this study. This comprise children aged 3-6 years and, as afore-mentioned, it is the initial stage of protection and contention. The main findings of this thesis show that people are more flexible and open to integrate others. They consider that children have their own rights and must be respected. It is essential to have new educational topics that can comprise children’s rights into a more detailed and supportive platform.
