Life Canada's parenting resources (Note: These are all written from a Christian perspective, but are still applicable to non-Christians. I don't recommend the "How to talk to your kids about identity" resource for anyone, though, because its focus seems a bit confused and the way it uses terminology doesn't always line up with how a real LGBT teenager would understand words like "gender." If you're a Christian parent with an LGBT child, I'd instead recommend checking out the Centre for Faith, Sexuality & Gender)
