The Vermont Department of Health urged people to use the words ‘child’ and ‘kid’ because they are ‘gender-neutral’ and to stop saying the phrase ‘extended family.’
Vermont’s Department of Health has published a flyer advising people not to use the terms “daughter” or “son,” but “child” or “kid” instead as more “inclusive” terms.

The Vermont Department of Health put out a post informing families that they shouldn’t call their child “son” or “daughter” because it isn’t “inclusive” enough.

The health agency considers the terms “child” and “kid” to be preferential because they are “gender-neutral” and “can describe a child who may not be someone’s legal son or daughter.”
The flyer also advises Vermont citizens to use the simple term “family” instead of “extended family,” since “often grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are important parts of a core family unit.”
“When talking about family, it’s important to use terms that cover the many versions of what family can look like,” wrote the Vermont health department’s Facebook page on Wednesday when posting the flyer.
