There’s a Netflix program right now geared toward seven-year-olds that’s touting transgenderism as perfectly normal.
And just when you think you can trust “family” networks, Disney sneaks in similar messaging for toddlers.
Take the show Dino Ranch, for example.
On the surface, it seems like a wholesome, adorable show for preschoolers—colorful, kind-hearted, and full of teamwork lessons. But in Season 1, Episode 24 (“Adoptasaurus Rex”), the writers slipped in a segment where two male Tyrannosaurus Rexes—referred to as “dino daddies”—nuzzle affectionately and adopt an egg together.
That’s right: a show geared toward two- to five-year-olds is normalizing same-sex parenting among cartoon dinosaurs.
It’s subtle. It’s gentle. But it’s intentional.
I want to be clear — this isn’t about hatred or judgment toward anyone. I don’t have anything against people who identify as gay or transgender; I truly believe every person is made in the image of God and deserves kindness and respect. My concern is about what is being taught as normal to innocent children. As a Christian mother, my job isn’t to rewrite truth but to live by it.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what I think — it matters what God says. The Bible is my rule book for life, and it’s where I take my direction on how to raise, protect, and guide my children.
As parents, we need to recognize that the media is no longer a neutral space. It’s an agenda-driven classroom that teaches our children what to believe about the world—and often, it stands in direct opposition to the truth of God’s Word.
The book of Proverbs says, “Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child.” (Proverbs 22:15)
That’s not an insult to children—it’s God’s loving reminder that they aren’t born wise. They need guidance and truth.
And if we take that Scripture seriously, we must also admit something else: your child’s friends are fools too. (Don’t worry, the Bible said it first! 😄)
That means we can’t allow our kids to learn about life, identity, or morality from their peers—or from media networks aiming to redefine truth. They need to learn from us: parents anchored in Biblical wisdom.
Parent-Bonded vs. Peer-Bonded
There are two types of children: parent-bonded and peer-bonded.
A parent-bonded child finds their emotional anchor and moral compass in their parents.
A peer-bonded child looks to friends or screens for approval and identity.
So ask yourself—who has your child’s heart?
Because whichever bond is strongest will shape their worldview.
We want our children bonded to wisdom, not foolishness.
Shelter First, Teach Discernment Later
Some people mock parents for “sheltering” their kids, but sheltering is protection.
You wouldn’t send your child into a storm without an umbrella. In the same way, we shouldn’t send them into a world full of confusion and deception without the covering of truth.
If we protect them when they’re young and teach them discernment as they grow, they will become truly wise—able to detect deceit, recognize misleading ideas, and stand firm in what’s right.
Let’s not allow the media, television networks, or any outside voice to teach our children what is normal, good, or true.
That sacred responsibility belongs to us.
