Conoscere le famiglie omogenitoriali: un’indagine nei servizi toscani

Abstract

The article displays a research investigating how much educational services for early childhood educators know about same-sex parenting families. This research involved 94 educators working in nursery schools in the Lucca area. The results highlight how prejudices and a general lack of information still persist on this issue. The article aims to offer a reflection on a mostly unknown reality, starting with the many data available. From the early Seventies up to today there are about 60 scientific surveys available on this issue. The opinion that kids need a mother and a father to be properly brought up doesn’t match with the results of the international report on family relations and psycho-social development of people.
