The Olympic champ, who made her debut as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair this week, is still allowing her daughters Kendall, Kylie and Cassandra, sons Burt, Brody and Brandon and stepchildren Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian, to continue referring to her as their father for the time being.
A source told People magazine;
“Caitlyn spoke to each of the kids separately and told them to take their time in getting used to this.
“She would prefer not to be called Bruce but told the kids that they could still call her Dad, at least for now.
“Caitlyn has been really understanding that it doesn’t come naturally for anyone. No one expects this change to happen overnight. If one of the boys slips up, it’s not a big deal.”
Meanwhile, Caitlyn’s mother has admitted she will find it hard at first to refer to the star by her new name.
Esther said: “It takes some time getting used to. I’ve called Caitlyn Bruce since the day he was born. It’s going to take some time, but I will adjust.”
Caitlyn will make her red carpet debut at the ESPY Awards on July 15.
The sporting board will give her the Arthur Ashe Courage Award – presented annually to those whose contributions transcend sports – for her bravery in coming out as a transgender woman in April.
She will be joined by all her children at the event.
