Hey everyone. Good morning and good afternoon.

I'm a little bit late in releasing this segment because I needed to sleep in today.

But nonetheless, it's out.

And this one's really special and really, really interesting because it's something that's

very common and I really haven't heard it be spoken about in the media or there are some

articles and some blogs about it, but it's still something that isn't out. So let's talk about it.

This is going to be the space for it. I pre-recorded this like a few weeks ago with Lizette Sanchez,

but you're going to hear Lizette Sanchez and I talk about the role of growing up,

translating for your parents.

We talked all about the psychological and emotional effects of both the parents and children,

like the shame parents feel and the tendency of wanting to please your parents as a child.

And we also talked about the boundaries that are needed for that.

Because although many of us listening are probably older,

it still is happening in a lot of households because a lot of children are now being taken care of by grandmas.

That's always been common, but I feel like there has been more of a spike.

So although we talked about parents, we also mean grandparents as well,

Thias, Thios, anyone really in the family system.

We both shared personal stories and we do want to hear from you.

If there are any examples that you want to share with us, please send me a direct message on any social media platform at Latinx Therapy, or send me an email at Latinx Therapy Podcast at gmail.com.

Let's talk about this.

And a quick note before we learn more about who Lizette is, the academic term for a child
