I used to think these were just “Latino things.” But now I get to pass every single one of them on.

Spanish-first parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about conviction.

Because there will always be moments that test you: the pushback, the looks, the doubts, the noise. But if you want this for your kids…you’ll show it in the small choices you make every single day.

If this hit you anywhere in the chest, tell me: what’s the hardest part about staying consistent on this path?

My 3 YO sat down and invented an entire story about dragones…from thin air…in Spanish. I swear, toddlers are the best storytellers we’ll ever meet.

Some of you aren’t just teaching your kids Spanish…you’re relearning it yourselves too. It can be chaotic and humbling, all at the same time.

Studycat makes it so much easier. Bite-sized lessons, real-life vocab, speaking practice so you can actually hear yourself…the whole thing is designed for families learning together (even if you’re secretly learning more than your kid 😅).

Comment SPANISH and I’ll send you a code for 14 days of unlimited access.

I speak Spanish every day…and still get personally attacked by acentos, double meanings, and words that change personalities by country.

It hits different when people ask, “how does he speak Spanish so well?” And you look back at all the years…the books, the cuentos, the songs, the whispering Spanish into his little ears since day one.

It was you. Your voice. Your intention. Your consistency.

You built it. Moment by moment, palabra by palabra.

If you’re in it, keep going. Watch until the end to see why it’s so worth it.

Both of my kids spent their first years speaking only Spanish…even with a dad who speaks only English. They always understood him, but when it came to answering, I was the bridge. I was the one repeating, rephrasing, making sure everyone understood each other.

And now (just like his big brother) my 3YO is suddenly taking off in English.

Part of me is so relieved. He can finally talk to his dad on his own, no mamá-translator in the middle. That’s a gift.

But if I’m honest…it’s also a little bittersweet. You work so hard to make Spanish their first home, their first instinct, their first language of love…and then one day the community language sneaks in. Inevitably.

I’m proud and grateful. And I’m feeling it a little.
Both can be true.

If you’re in this stage too…hey, I see you.

Sometimes the best independent play happens when there’s sound but no screen.

When kids just listen, their brains aren’t busy keeping up with visuals, they stay calmer, more regulated, and their imagination kicks in. That imagination is what turns into deeper, longer play.

And if what they’re hearing is in Spanish? Even better.
Those familiar voices and phrases become effortless exposure…the kind that sticks because they’re relaxed, engaged, and doing something they already love.

👇🏼 What do your peques like to listen to while they play?

In every Latino family, chisme has a set of trigger phrases that might as well be sirens.

Holiday reminder: you’re not being rude for speaking Spanish to your child. 
You’re being intentional and consistent. You’re showing your peque that Spanish isn’t just for home…it’s for everywhere. You’re modeling something powerful in real time.

If this is something you’re navigating this season, you’re not alone. 🧡

This one is for the immigrant mamá who crossed countries, the woman who rebuilt her life from scratch, the mom who learned a new language, new systems, new rules…all while raising babies far from the mamá who raised her.

We forget how much courage it took. How much we carried in silence. How much we transformed without applause.

But look at you. Raising kids who stand on two worlds because you carried both. Raising niños who will grow up never doubting their worth, their language, their roots, or the sacrifices that built their childhood.

You didn’t just survive. You changed the story.

What are you giving thanks for this year?

One day our kids will understand what we were doing.
Why we insisted. Why we stayed firm. Why we chose the harder road…every single day.

And when they look back, this is what they’ll say.

Para las mamás que están cansadas, dudando, o haciendo esto solitas, this is your reminder: they will thank you.

Teaching my boys Spanish first isn’t just about language…it’s about legacy.

Every palabra we choose at home is a decision to keep our roots alive. To let Spanish be the default, not the afterthought. To make sure they grow up knowing exactly where they come from.

This is the part no one told me about bilingual parenting: that our kids aren’t just learning Spanish…
we’re reclaiming it.

The ecosystem you surround your child with becomes their world. This is meant to show you just how many levers you can pull to raise a child in Spanish here in the U.S.

You don’t need every single one of these. If you’re missing one, another can step in and carry more weight. But the more you layer in, the more Spanish becomes the air they breathe.

And no, you don’t have to worry about whether they’ll learn English. 🙂‍↔️

It’s a constant push and pull. Pride, exhaustion. Gratitude, fear. Holding your ground…and holding your breath.

Being a Spanish-first parent in an English-first world means feeling all of it at once.

Sometimes, when bilingual kids have to translate for family, it can feel heavy. Like a burden too big for little shoulders.

Until their words matter. Until someone needs them. Until they realize…”I can do this because I speak Spanish.”

That’s the moment it all shifts. Not a chore. Not a task. But purpose.

This post was inspired by one of our favorite new @lil_libros books, Tío Ricky Doesn’t Speak English, written by the incredible @latinaboomermom. She’s not just a mamá who has been here, but also a powerful voice in the bilingual community. Her story captures the exact moment a child goes from feeling burdened by bilingualism…to owning it.

Find it at lillibros.com or wherever you buy your bilingual books. It’s a new must-have for Spanish-first homes! ❤️

I hear these all the time…even thrown around like jokes. But they land HARD.

Instead of asking “why don’t you speak Spanish?”
What if we asked, “how can I help you come back to it?”

Because shame doesn’t build identity. But invitation does.

Reading in Spanish isn’t just possible…it’s often easier, more logical, and incredibly powerful for raising bilingual kids.

Episode 7 of Hablemos Bilingual is all about giving you the clarity and confidence to raise strong readers in both languages without confusion or guilt.

This week, @latinaboomermom and I were joined by @dr.olga_grimalt, a dual language immersion specialist, to talk about:

- Why Spanish is often the ideal first language for reading
- What biliteracy really is (and why it’s different than bilingualism)
- Whether you can teach reading in two languages at once
- How to support Spanish reading even if English came first

If you’re in the thick of early reading, deciding which language to start with, or just trying to keep Spanish going while your child learns to read…this episode is for you.

Catch the full episode on YouTube (LINK IN BIO).

Reading in Spanish first is one of the most powerful paths to biliteracy, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. And this week’s LIVE @latinaboomermom and I will break it all down.
