CULTURAL PARENTING CLASS
Friday
1:00 – 2:15 PM
Ages: 0-12 months
This Mamá and Me class focuses on how to maintain our culture, language, and customs while raising children in the United States.
Presented by: Dr. Valeria Ana Penela, Licensed Pyschologist.
Parenting is not an easy task. When we become parents we are filled with joy, pride, and happiness. At the same time, the demands of time can increase stress and tension. Parents that come from other cultures have the additional task of trying to preserve and include the customs of their own culture and language of origin in parenting. Lack of time and stress can make this a difficult task and it is easy to get carried away by the day to day, by the demands of everyday life. We’ll navigate the potential resistance from children and even the devaluation of our customs from society as we support the importance that the transmission of our culture and language has for our children’s upbringing. This group will serve as a support and counsel for parenting but also in raising our children bicultural and bilingual.
