Even when we understand the concepts of transformative justice – what does it look like to practice in our our day-to-day parenting?
We’ve joined together with somatic abolitionist and transformative justice parent educator, Nat Vikitsreth of Come Back To Care, to put these intentions into practice.
Nat Nadha Vikitsreth, LCSW (she/her) is a dot connector, norm agitator, and lover of liberation who supports social justice curious families in their efforts to practice social justice in their parenting while re-parenting their inner child. Nat works as a nationally award-winning decolonized therapist and facilitator, a trans rights activist, and a host of the Come Back to Care Podcast. She founded Come Back to Care for anyone who loves and raises children to heal as we get free.
“The election is terrifying, injuries are making me irritable with my kid, I’m overwhelmed by all the things to do everywhere I look.”
“I’m having trouble staying regulated in the face of a dysregulated kiddo.”
“I need help on how to balance talking about the reality of our politics without burdening the kid with fear or hopelessness.”
“We’re struggling through bedtime, and I’m trying not to snap at my kiddos as I’m living through the erasure of where I’m from – Gaza, and the challenges of living in the states.”
