701: Back to Spanish- How to Reset Your Bilingual Routine After Summer

Subscribe on  Apple Podcasts   Spotify

Season 7 of The Latina Mom Legacy is here! In this episode, I share a simple, practical reset plan to help you get your kids back on track with Spanish after summer, no guilt required.

For my family, summer was full of Spanish immersion... celebrating my mami’s 80th birthday in the Dominican Republic (she snorkeled for the first time!) and spending five weeks surrounded by Spanish in Florida. But not every family had that same exposure. Maybe your routine slipped, or English took over. If that’s you, don’t worry, you’re not alone.

3 Quick Bilingual Parenting Takeaways:

1. Summer dips are normal. Disrupted schedules, vacations, and more English exposure often push Spanish aside — but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
2. Reset, don’t restart. This is an opportunity to refresh your routine, add something fun, and approach Spanish time with a lighter mindset.
3. Anchor Spanish to daily life. Simple habits like breakfast chats, bedtime stories, or sticker charts can bring Spanish back into your routine consistently.
