The problem: we carry traumas that didn't start with us... but can end with us.
Many parents in the Bronx are raising their children while dealing with wounds from their own childhood:
- Domestic violence
- emotional abandonment
- Extreme financial stress
- Parents who were surviving, not parenting
And today, when it's your turn to care, reactions, limits, and voids appear that you didn't know you had. This is generational trauma: unresolved pain that is unintentionally inherited, but that remains present in:
- Shouting
- Silences
- Fears
- emotional disconnection
🔍 According to the CDC, 6 in 10 U.S. adults have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE), and 1 in 6 have experienced four or more.

What is the child care system doing wrong?
Most daycares and child care programs in NYC:
- ❌ They do not consider the emotional context of each family
- ❌ They punish behaviors without understanding their roots
- ❌ They do not offer support to parents
- ❌ They reproduce dynamics of judgment, control or exclusion
This causes:
- Families withdraw their children from the programs
- Public schools see high absenteeism rates
- Many parents avoid asking for help out of shame or fear.
- The cycle of emotional disconnection is perpetuated
The current system not only ignores generational trauma, it sometimes reproduces it.

Healing as a family, growing as a community
We know that sometimes:
- You scream and then feel guilty
- You fear that you are repeating what you experienced.
- You don't know how to show love... because no one taught you how to do it
At The Mother Cloud, you are not alone.
We see it, we name it, and we work with you.
Because breaking the cycle is difficult, but it is possible.
