Latinx Parenting believes passionately in shifting the paradigm of raising children towards creating a trauma-informed, healing-centered, nonviolent, and cultural sustaining approach where Latinx familias can nurture connection in their homes and culture in ways that support individual, family, and intergenerational collective healing.
One simple step you can take in healing is by softening the voice in your mind with affirmations to cultivate an inner dialogue that is compassionate and loving. Affirmations work so wonderfully to reframe the thoughts that float in our mind. When we embark on a healing journey, this reframe and shift is a constant process. Affirmations work best when you see them often!
We look at our phones so often that making your lock screen an affirmation is a great way to incorporate affirmations into your life.

Protect your children. Teach them what is love can feel like vs what love is not. Yes, we must respect our elders but that does not mean suppressing our own emotions to satisfy their need to feel in power.
We know we can do better so we are doing it. It's hard but it's going to be worth It. Te lo prometo.
Sigue pa' lante! 💗

In order to break cycles, liberate our people from colonial harms, and not have history repeat itself, we must practice Indigenous ways of healing.
When so-called "misbehavior" occurs, we should focus on healing and teaching. Breaking the cycle of choosing to punish is necessary as we get to the roots of what caused the "misbehavior".
Additionally, the labeling of this is from a power-over dynamic where someone gets to subjectively decide who is "good" and who is "bad". This breeds disconnection and diminishes opportunities for discovering ways of being that are in harmony with the vision we hold for this world. This is in alignment with nonviolence and liberation practice.
We know that an "offender", by this punitive society's standards, is usually labeled as a criminal. I've been taught, by Rainy River First Nations researcher Dr. Renee Linklater, that our way of thinking about these humans must shift to "someone who has caused harm". This way, we focus on who the offender is, and therein what their capacity or willingness for healing is, versus what they have done.
Similarly, by using the term "victim", we can opt to change this to a more descriptive "someone who has been hurt". This lets them know they are more than what was done to them, and that the harm that they experienced is valid and worth examining.
We need to break these cycles and it all starts with moving from a place of understanding actions versus punishment and pathology.
Our Professionals Intensive dives into this way more. We will be spending 8 hours exploring the ins and outs of how to best serve Latinx families specifically.
Registration closes THIS FRIDAY, September, 24th and space is limited. Payment plans available. 💖

Louder for the people in the back! 👂🏽
Stop 👏🏾 repeating 👏🏾 trauma cycles 👏🏾 by avoiding 👏🏾 inner 👏🏾 work! 👏🏾
Let me explain something. When we stay in avoidance of our shadows, when we stay comfortable with that cushy blindfold that prevents us from seeing children as whole beings, and when we stay in defense of the violence that WE experienced (not JUST physical, btw), the potential for our culture to walk into liberation diminishes in a big way.
Yes, be gentle with yourself as you bring light to those shadows and be so compassionate as others are on their paths. AND ALSO! Stay disciplined and, as best you can, in alignment with the vision of liberated familias. We begin this by getting really honest about what happened to us and our people. We proceed by being courageous to do it differently.
