Latinx Parenting Class

"Porque yo digo." "Porque yo mando". "Voy por la chancla!" These are all too common phrases heard by Latino and Latina parents and grandparents growing up.

Many times our caregivers have had to survive oppressive systems. Whether it's political turmoil, violence, or poverty, they have had to focus on survival which unfortunately means that tough or aggressive parenting practices were used in order to protect their children. Other times due to gender norms and cultural rules they were not given the proper tools to learn about navigating their emotions and therefore it was difficult to teach future generations about that too. White-centered parenting education doesn't always take into account our cultural background, dynamics, or history and therefore it does not always make sense for our families and how they function. This Latinx parent training utilizes phrases, concepts, and highlights strengths from within our own culture to build on our cultural wealth and move away violent parenting practices. It will help you learn to reconnect with your own inner child, learn how to communicate emotional regulation to your children, and begin practicing healthy parenting practices within the scope of Latinx culture. En Ingles y Espanol.
