Text i bild: Normkreativt tips! Använd ordet hen och berätta för att barn att vi själva bestämmer om vi är hon, hen eller han.

The magic word hen

By using the word HER, we give all children the opportunity to choose who they want to be. Try replacing she or he with HEN in songs and games.

"The bear sleeps, the bear sleeps, in his quiet nest. He is not dangerous, only one is careful, but one can, but one can, the bear never believes!"

When talking to children about liking someone or being in love: use HEN and you don't have to have sex.

"Is there someone or someone you like? What's their name?"

Baby recipes

When talking to children about how babies are made: describe it as a cookie recipe. What ingredients are needed? How long is the baby baked before it is ready? Sometimes we adults get stuck thinking we need to explain sex between adults to tell us how babies are made. Then it is easy to get stuck in stereotypical descriptions.

Use the book How Babies Are Made, where the recipe is explained in a simple and fun way.

Replace the word good

Some children are often told that they are good no matter what they do. We easily end up telling the performance instead of the process.

Instead of saying that the child is good at drawing: ask what he has drawn. Then you show interest in the child's thoughts, and indirectly show that the child is interesting and important regardless of what he achieves. Instead of praising the drawing, you can say "You seem to have worked hard with this one and all the lovely colors."

Different bodies

We all love different bodies. Small, big, swinging, hanging, dancing, fluttering, soft, climbing, bouncy, strong, fragile, curious, satisfied bodies.

By allowing all different bodies to take place in our books, we show that everyone is equally valuable!
