About this event

  • 2 hours

Many polyamorous people have to address the strawman reaction of “But what about the children?” When they come out as polyamorous - and still more have concerns about how their relationships will intersect with them or their partners having children. This 90-minute workshop touches on some of the biggest “kid issues” polyamorous folks will face, including:
-Approaches to coming out to older children either as a theoretical idea or when you have additional relationships;
-Addressing non-traditional family structures with toddlers and young children;
-Explaining new partners and what their role is, or how it is evolving, to different age groups;
-Concerns of schoolmates and other children yours may interact with;
-Interactions with schools and doctors offices regarding children and additional partners or additional parents;
-Legal concerns of multi-parent families;
-Smoothing big relationship transitions for children, why and how one might want to do that


And more!


The purchase of your ticket comes with access to a recording of the event if you can't make it live. The recording access will be sent out with a transcript of the event that I check and edit, so if folks are hard of hearing or deaf that's available to improve their experience of the recording; live during the event I use the autogenerated captions in Zoom which are good but not perfect. I do my best to make the event accessible within my means and ability.
