Two dads or two mothers, in addition to the other parent, it’s twice as much love, right? Toddlers only realize that their family is exceptional that when their boyfriend asks them the question: “But why do you have two mothers/dads, you?” When your child goes to school, you will therefore be forced to approach the subject with him … Also, to better explain this “difference” to him, which does not change much in itself, certain books adapted to children allow to answer all his questions. Selection of books to read with the family!
Violet dads
Whatever what her classmates can say or think, Violette loves her two dads, and would not exchange them for anything in the world for a mom! They are funny, attentive, and spend time with her. They dance tango by making her climb on her feet, read stories before sleeping, console her and comfort her, and sometimes make bizarre hairstyles. Sometimes Violette would like them to come and get her together after school, but they take turns, for fear of embarrassing her. This book shows how two dads can make a child happy! A useful book to tackle homoparentality with your child.
