Do you want to raise a bilingual child connected to their cultura, but English just feels easier? Feeling guilty and overwhelmed? You are not alone, amiga. I'm Janny Perez, a first gen Latina mom who thought this would be as easy as my parents made it look. But I created a unique approach: the secret isn't speaking MORE Spanish, it's knowing how YOUR child learns and how YOU show up as their guide. Mija now speaks Spanish with her familia and is becoming trilingual. Your child can too! Want to raise confident bilingual kids who talk with abuelita? This podcast is for you. Grab your cafecito!
