Queer Parents, Preteens & Puberty with José Rolón
About this episode
A bonus episode featuring a candid conversation about parenting preteens and teenagers as LGBTQ+ parents.
The babies aren't babies anymore. While you wait for Season 2 of Love, Take Two, we're dropping a little bonus episode into your feed—a crossover conversation from The Queer Family Podcast featuring your Love, Take Two hosts, Jaimie Kelton and José Rolón. In this candid conversation, Jaimie and José talk about parenting preteens and teenagers as LGBTQ+ parents. From puberty and emotional regulation to first crushes, social media, and navigating the outside world's assumptions about queer families, this episode explores what changes—and what stays the same—as our kids get older. They share honest stories about raising confident kids, keeping communication open during the middle school years, helping children navigate questions about their families, and finding humor in the chaos of parenting adolescents. They also discuss what it's like when your family exists in the public eye and how to empower kids to feel proud of who they are and where they come from. Consider this a little bonus Jaimie-and-José time while we get Season 2 ready for you. Because it turns out building the family was only the beginning.
