Parental support is associated with improved mental health outcomes for gender diverse youth (GDY). Parents often seek guidance from pediatric providers, but few studies explore what actions make GDY feel supported. Using a qualitative analysis of open-ended survey responses, we aimed to identify ways in which GDY want to be supported by their parents or caregivers. Nine key themes were identified, including using affirming language at home and other settings as desired by GDY, seeking education, and aiding in accessing affirming items and care. Findings from this study can help pediatric medical and mental health providers help parents to support their GDY.

Results: We analyzed data from 30 children and found significant correlations between S-PMV11 scores and Bayley-III assessments across cognitive, language, and motor skill domains.
