  • THRIVE! Caring And Loving Every Bit Of Yourself | ¡PROSPERE! Cuidar Y Amar Cada Parte De Ti Mismo

    Thrive
    Virtual Event

    Self-care and self-love is often romanticized, but it isn’t as easy as people think. Learning to care and love yourself means healing from the things you refuse to talk about. It isn’t just hitting the gym or spoiling yourself with luxury and gifts. It isn’t just about doing the things you love, but it’s about growing and building yourself up to be the person you’ve always wanted to become. It’s admitting your faults and weaknesses, and only then can you learn to care and love yourself completely. A lot of people think that the road is as easy as doing the things you enjoy doing, but it’s also a road of transformation, growth, and self-discovery. Learning to care and love yourself needs patience and practice. It’s not something that takes overnight, but it’s a gradual process.
    El cuidado y el amor propio suelen idealizarse, pero no es tan fácil como la gente cree. Aprender a cuidarte y amarte a ti mismo significa sanar las cosas de las que te niegas a hablar. No se trata solo de ir al gimnasio o mimarte con lujos y regalos. No se trata solo de hacer las cosas que te gustan, sino de crecer y construirte a ti mismo para convertirte en la persona que siempre has querido ser. Es admitir tus defectos y debilidades, y solo entonces podrás aprender a cuidarte y amarte por completo. Mucha gente piensa que el camino es tan fácil como hacer las cosas que te gustan, pero también es un camino de transformación, crecimiento y autodescubrimiento. Aprender a cuidarte y amarte a ti mismo requiere paciencia y práctica. No es algo que se consiga de la noche a la mañana, sino que es un proceso gradual.

  • THRIVE! How To Detox Kids From Their Screens | ¡PROSPERE! Cómo Desintoxicar A Los Niños De Las Pantallas

    Thrive
    Virtual Event

    For many of our kids, tablets and smartphones have become their lifeline to their friends and to the outside world.  As parents we let them log on, and before we know it, screen time becomes way too much screen time, and then bad habits are formed. By implementing new practices, we equip our children with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in a world where technology plays an ever-increasing role. A “cold turkey” approach is not recommended. Instead retraining the child brain to acclimate to both “high-dopamine” activities and “low-dopamine” screen time AND non-screen activities. The goal is helping your child find a balance between the two then explaining to them why.

    Para muchos de nuestros hijos, las tabletas y los teléfonos inteligentes se han convertido en su vínculo con sus amigos y con el mundo exterior.  Como padres, les dejamos conectarse y, antes de que nos demos cuenta, el tiempo que pasan frente a la pantalla se vuelve excesivo y se forman malos hábitos. Al implementar nuevas prácticas, dotamos a nuestros hijos de las habilidades y la mentalidad necesarias para prosperar en un mundo en el que la tecnología desempeña un papel cada vez más importante. No se recomienda un enfoque radical. En su lugar, hay que reeducar el cerebro del niño para que se acostumbre tanto a las actividades con "alto nivel de dopamina" como al tiempo frente a la pantalla con "bajo nivel de dopamina" Y a las actividades sin pantalla. El objetivo es ayudar a su hijo a encontrar un equilibrio entre ambos y luego explicarle por qué.

  • THRIVE! Family Dynamics: Understanding The Hidden Patterns That Shape Us | ¡PROSPERE! Dinámica Familiar: Comprender Los Patrones Ocultos Que Nos Forman

    Thrive
    Virtual Event

    Families are complex. Each family member is not just an individual, they are part of their family system. And any one member’s behavior is influenced by their family—parents as well as siblings. Even the healthiest families carry invisible patterns that shape how we love, how we live, and how we relate. Understanding family dynamics is essential to healing, growth, and lasting connection. Understanding these dynamics can provide insights into behavior, communication styles, and emotional connections within the family unit.
    Las familias son complejas. Cada miembro de la familia no es solo un individuo, sino que forma parte del sistema familiar. Y el comportamiento de cualquier miembro está influenciado por su familia, tanto por sus padres como por sus hermanos. Incluso las familias más sanas tienen patrones invisibles que moldean nuestra forma de amar, de vivir y de relacionarnos. Comprender la dinámica familiar es esencial para la sanación, el crecimiento y las relaciones duraderas. Comprender esta dinámica puede proporcionar información sobre el comportamiento, los estilos de comunicación y las conexiones emocionales dentro de la unidad familiar.

  • THRIVE! Parenting, The Remix: Parenting Differently Than Your Own Parents | ¡PROSPERE! La Crianza De Los Hijos, El Remix: Criar A Los Hijos De Manera Diferente a Como Lo Hicieron Tus Propios Padres

    Thrive
    Virtual Event

    Everyone makes mistakes and should be allowed grace. Even your own parents. They probably still wonder if they did everything “right,” but there isn’t a right way to do this parenting thing. Though the universal rules of child-rearing still apply, today's parents are dealing with an entirely new playing field when it comes to their children. Even compared to just 20 years ago, things like technological advances and increasingly more expensive supplies have made being a parent a very different experience, both for better and for worse. Let’s discuss and discover the ways that progressive parents parent differently from their own parents. And let’s examine some old school parenting styles that still need to be practiced.
    Todos cometemos errores y se nos debe conceder el beneficio de la duda. Incluso a tus propios padres. Probablemente ellos todavía se preguntan si hicieron todo «bien», pero no existe una forma correcta de criar a los hijos. Aunque las reglas universales de la crianza de los hijos siguen siendo válidas, los padres de hoy en día se enfrentan a un terreno de juego completamente nuevo en lo que respecta a sus hijos. Incluso en comparación con hace solo 20 años, avances tecnológicos y suministros cada vez más caros han hecho que ser padre sea una experiencia muy diferente, tanto para bien como para mal. Analicemos y descubramos las formas en que los padres progresistas crían a sus hijos de manera diferente a sus propios padres. Y examinemos algunos estilos de crianza de la vieja escuela que aún deben practicarse.
