my daughter lives with my brother and i who are both rainbow and i sometimes wonder what will happen if / when she is exposed to the other side of life... i partly expect her to come home from school all shocked one day saying "Mum did you know that Boys like girls?!?!" hahha that will be so funny. She see's my parents and my other brother who are not rainbow but u never know how much actually filters in considering the majority of our friends lol

if you are the one to explain these things to your daughter and that being different is okay then it should be okay. But make sure that she knows it is a personal choice for someone and that she doesnt have to be that way if she doesnt feel it in her heart.. :)

Well it is defenently something that's gonna happen fast!  In my case when my daughter started asking questions I told her that "girls can like girls and boys can like boys and boys and girls can like eachother.  I'ts up to you to decide who you like"  I feel that teaching them to have an open mind esp. if their realy young can help them with many of the challenges that their going to face.

If she watches TV, reads children's books, and plays with the children of opposite sex couples, she will figure it out. Mine has had no issue with it so far and she is three. She understands that there are families like hers and families that aren't like hers. When she plays with her toys or tries to identify pictures of families she seems very comfortable with the concept of "daddy." I'm sure she picked it up from Sesame Street and her books. It would be nice if Elmo had two mommies, but for now we will have to stick with "The Family Book" by Todd Par.
