Book Overview A parenting guide that speaks directly to Latinx families with language, history, and lived experience that honors and celebrates our cul...
For many in the Latinx community, "la Chancla"--what we learn to see as the warning sign for disciplinary violence--has become a cultural symbol that has spawned relatable memes that many of us laugh about and bond over. But what if it's also a symbol of something more harmful?
In Chancla, educator and Latinx Parenting founder, Leslie Priscilla, invites readers, parents, and the Latinx community on a transformative journey away from cycles of fear, shame, and corporal punishment. With warmth and deep cultural insight, Priscilla explores the historical legacies attached to Chancla while offering a path forward rooted in connection, self-reflection, and ancestral healing. Chancla is the nonviolent parenting practice that celebrates Latinx cultura, while teaching its readers--and their Mamis, Papis, Tias, and Tios--how to heal from generational violence.
Blending personal storytelling, historical context, and actionable tools, Chancla helps readers not only nurture their children, but their wounded inner child. Readers will see themselves in these pages, because ultimately Chancla encourages them to unlearn what they've inherited and make space for what they deserve: homes full of love, safety, and respect.
