Welcome!

Do you ever feel like you’re parenting by the seat of your pants?

  • Respectful parenting is not about creating a peaceful, loving home to turn out kind, well-adjusted kids.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's a byproduct, but it misses the point.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The point of treating your child with respect and viewing them as capable humans with minds and emotions of their own from the get-go is that EVERYONE deserves to be treated with respect.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ EVERYONE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our kids shouldn't have to earn our respect. We give them our respect because they are born worthy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They learn to respect us because they know what it is to be respected.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They learn to speak their mind because we create a safe space for them to do so.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you pair respectful parenting with a willingness to speak up for others, talk about race and racism, and name injustice, you get kids who are confident and driven to speak out against injustice when they venture out into the world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we set down the need to use punitive measures to control and

There are so many leaders protecting and ensuring the future rights of Black folks nationally and globally in this moment (and always has been). I am so grateful to the Black leaders that have put their bodies, lives and futures on the line for all of us.”] :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #malcolmx #malcolm #mlkjr #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktranseverything
  • #amplifymelanatedvoices @nicoleacardoza⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This work doesn’t end when the protests do. It’s a practice, which means we do it consistently, over time and with vigor. Racism is our default practice. Therefore, we need to consciously commit to practicing anti-racism in all that we do.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As part of my commitment to my own work, I’m going to share what I’ve learned and discovered in a daily email with a clear and tactical action to take in your relationships, office, yoga studio and everywhere else. It’s free, but funds generated will support the scholars, leaders and activists already doing so much work. Link in bio.
  • #amplifymelanatedvoices ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From @readlikearockstar⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We aren't here as teachers for this post. We are here as parents. apron_education and I have been working together since 2016, coming up with the social studies curriculum that we wish we had when we were little. We are asked repeatedly for books, blogs, and everything else by white parents from our past as well as from people who don't know us, daily. While that can be exhausting, we know that this work is needed for more white families to commit to. We decided to create a resource for white parents to engage their young children. ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We won't go into it too much here, but we have a blog post where you can see the resource fully laid out if you tap the link in our profiles. If you are white and you white have children, we believe that it would be a critical investment for your family. ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please refrain from asking us what ages this would be appropriate for. It's big work that you have to do for the rest of your life. It is written to be accessible for young children, but you could probably sit with this book at your next brunch and discuss it with a table full of adults. ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is just ONE resource you can engage with in order to begin to engage your children in conversations about race... maybe think of it as a starting line. ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, this is available on our websites only. This will not be posted to TpT. Link in bio. ❤️
  • Hi. I'm Julia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's time for an introduction post, but in the wake of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery's deaths, focusing on who I am and what I do feels wrong.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead, I want to offer this. If you're a white parent and you want your child to step into their fullest potential, including visionary powers and leadership, you cannot shy away from what is happening in our country right now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You have to do the work and get to know and understand your privilege and your biases.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You have to start talking about racism.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You have to talk about Black people being murdered.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You have to name them and give them faces.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Of course you've got to be sensitive to their sensitivities and developmental stages when talking about the atrocious actions of white people. But it's never too early to start talking about racism.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Start young. Talk openly and often. Be open to learning more yourself, because there will always be ways for you to grow and do better.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am incredibly privileged. And I have been so naive. It wasn't until my TWENTY-FIRST birthday that I actually saw the subtle, pervasive discrimination and microaggressions that my BIPOC friends had lived with their whole lives.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am committed to doing better, to listening, to speaking up against racism, and to paying Black leaders and educators for the work they are doing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm committed to helping my daughter understand her privilege, see the racial inequity that exists all around here, and feel confident using her voice to speak out against injustice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If that doesn't resonate with you, I'm probably not the coach for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If it does, though, I'd love it if you'd introduce yourself in the comments and share some of your favorite anti-racist IG accounts. It's not enough, but it's a start. I'll add some of my own (and share in my stories, too).

"After two sessions, let me just say-- even if you would rate things as 'pretty good,' Julia is able to take the two or three troublesome situations you keep running up against, ask like two or three questions, and very quickly have a few hunches as to what the root cause or trigger might be. She can then work with you on strategies to not only deal with the recurring issues better when they arise but... here's the super fun part... start to shift routines and make changes so that the big problems you keep having just DON'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. The terrible twos don't need to be terrible, three year olds don't need to be threenagers-- just get Julia in your corner and make parenting fun again."

"Julia brings decades of education and experience to the table as a coach and it shows in every interaction and conversation you have with her about parenting. I feel no judgement talking to Julia about parenting, her suggestions are easy to implement and always take into consideration my unique parenting situation."

"Julia's knowledge and insight has been wonderful in helping me to nurture my highly sensitive children through many intense emotional challenges. I really appreciate all of the tools that she has given me to connect with my kids and help them when they are struggling."
