If words like malcriada/o (ill-bred) or irrespetuosa (disrespectful) still have 
a bitter sting when you hear them, then it’s likely that **growing up you didn’t
have much of a choice or say** in things, and personal boundaries weren’t a consideration.
_Forced hugs and kisses to all your tios, even the creepy ones, anyone? _🙋🏽🙋🏽‍♀️
🙋🏾‍♂️

**Now that you’re a parent, you want to do right by your kiddos** by setting boundaries
that honor their person, and support them to use their voice and set their own. 
🎉🎉

But you’re finding that **when boundary-setting situations arise**, those same feelings
of helplessness & discomfort you felt when you were a kid creep in and **you end
up staying quiet, giving in, or blowing up in anger, damaging relationships you 
actually wish to keep.**_Been there!_

The** A Mi Manera Workshop** is here to support you with **practical tools and guidelines
to set kind and firm boundaries** with abuelos, tías, primos, and other adults in
your and your kiddos’ life.
